Contents

Denver: The City of Shadows is a boxed campaign set for Shadowrun, Second Edition.[1] It was designed by Nigel D. Findley, Bill Lenox, Tom Wong, and Tom Dowd, with interior art by Joel Biske, Steve Bryant, Paul Daly, Earl Geier, Rick Harris, Jeff Laubenstein, Dan Smith, and Karl Waller, and cover art by Dave McCoy and Jim Nelson.[2]

The set contains:

  • a 168-page players' book
  • a 64-page gamemaster's book
  • a 22" x 34" map sheet
  • two laminated travel passes[2]

The books detail Denver in the game of Shadowrun, including its six political sectors (each of which has its own laws, culture, and black market trade.)[2]

Reception

In the April 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #216), Rick Swan was cool to the boxed set, stating that "Despite its ambition, Denver is basically a water-treader, a look at a familiar setting from a diffferent angle [...] It's a good read, but it's not much of a reference." Swan concluded by giving Denver: The City of Shadows an average rating of 4 out of 6, saying, "Experienced players should find Denver irresistable — providing, of course, they're willing to navigate all the silly lingo."[2]
