- Plots and Paydays: An adventure book with complete information on missions for the players; they can be played alone, or as a longer, inter-connected campaign.
Character Booklets: Four pre-generated character sheets, with stats, background, favored tactics, and advancement possibilities—everything you need to pick a character and start earning some nuyen.

- Character sheets: Custom sheets for each character, with complete stats for easy reference, along with full-color character art.

- Maps: Modular maps of common areas shadowrunners may run into that can be arranged in different ways to suit a variety of missions.
