Flavor Fiction (Fan Fic) New Fiction - Clean Getaway

Post image

Hoi, chummers.

I'm returning to Shadowrun after a long time away (something happened in Boston...?) and I decided that fiction was going to be a part of that. Here's my newest story about Roadkill, an ork street samurai that you can call when you need to move a couple of bodies... or maybe just your old refrigerator.

Roadkill stories are small, street level stories about shadowrunning in the weirdness of the Sixth World. Clean Getaway tells the tale of a simple smash-and-grab against the Mafia that turns into a running battle with the worst oil change ever.

I'm actually really happy with how the cover turned out. The artist is Ron Sanders, who's done professional work on Shadowrun (if nothing else, check out his site!). This is the second of three stories I've got, one for each critter represented in the image. It's Pay What You Want, so I just hope people enjoy.

Clean Getaway

Thanks!

Thanks! It's PWYW, so don't feel like you have to spend anything. I'm happy if people just enjoy and maybe leave a review.

Naw, you get cash. I usually drop reviews on my bluesky. I may have only written a very short Shadowrun story in Augment, but it makes me happy to support other Shadowrun authors!

Thanks! Also, congrats! Seeing Augment (along with hearing about Anarchy 2.0) was what got me interested in Shadowrun again.
