[瞬间爆炸]

“当心背后，瞄准再打，节约弹药，并且决、不、和龙打交道。”
——街头谚语

"Watch your back. Shoot straight. Conserve ammo. And never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."
—Street Proverb

科技与人类肉体的融合始于20世纪末。把人类的大脑和计算机连接起来只是第一步。“提升”反射和赛博替换物等植入物紧随其后。然后是“大觉醒”。神秘能量的涌流已经平息三千年之久，但如今日趋活跃，魔法又回到了这个世界。精灵、矮人、兽人和巨魔都以他们真实的形态出现，摆脱了原本人类的外表伪装。

The blending of technology and human flesh began in the late 20th century. Interfacing the human mind with computers was just the first step. Implants that 'jack up" reflexes and cybernetic replacements followed quickly. Then came the Awakening. A three-thousand-year lull in the flow of mystical energies subsided, and Magic returned to the world. Elves, Dwarfe, Orcs, and Trolls assumed their true form, throwing off their human guise.

大觉醒后的几十年是动荡、恐慌和混乱的几十年，末日骑士在地球上四处肆虐。那些从未与他们的神秘过去失去联系的原始文化，开始利用魔法，对抗那些长久压制他们的伟大国家。庞大的全球电信网络在一种神秘的计算机病毒的袭击下崩溃了。核导弹被发射出去，但未能引爆。龙在天空翱翔。瘟疫和饥荒肆虐地球。觉醒的新种族和人类之间的冲突变得普遍。所有的中央权威都崩溃了，世界开始陷入深渊。

The decades that followed the Awakening were years of turmoil, panic, and chaos, as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse raced across the Earth. Primitive cultures that had never lost touch with their mystical past began to utilize magic against the great nations that had suppressed them for so long. The vast, global telecommunications network collapsed under an assault by a mysterious computer virus. Nuclear missiles were launched, but failed to detonate. Dragons soared in the skies. Epidemics and famine ravaged the face of the Earth. Clashes between newly Awakened races and the rest of humanity became common. All central authority crumbled and the world began to spiral down into an abyss.

但人类和他的亲族是善良的动物。在毁灭和无政府的状态中，秩序慢慢地恢复了。赛博技术根除了计算机病毒的最后残余，并用所谓的矩阵取代了旧的电信网络。美洲印第安人、精灵、兽人和矮人组成了新的民族国家。大型城市群与广阔的城邦遍布整片大陆。中央政府被超级企业所取代，而超企本身就代表着法律。承认主权的民众受到保护。被驱逐者、持不同政见者和反叛者受到剥削和虐待——因为从时代开始的时候，这种行为就发生在强者和弱者之间。

But man and his kin are hearty animals. Out of the devastation and anarchy, order slowly reemerged. Cybertechnology eradicated the last vestiges of the computer virus and replaced the old telecommunications network with what became known as the Matrix. New nation-states of Amerindians, Elves, Orks.and Dwarfs were formed. Megaplexes, vast city- states, sprawled over the landscape. Central governments were replaced by Mega-Corporations, which were a law unto themselves. People who accepted their sovereignty were protected. The outcasts, dissidents, and rebels were exploited and abused, as it had always been between the weak and the powerful since time began.

在2050年的世界里，大都市群是投下长长阴影的怪物。作为暗影狂奔者，你就住在那里，住在巨大的公司建筑之间的缝隙里。当超企们想做点什么，但又不想弄脏自己的手时，他们需要一次暗影狂奔，然后他们会来找你。虽然你的存在不被任何政府或公司的数据库所认可，但对你的服务的需求却很大。你可能是一名超链者，在大公司的数据库中悄悄溜过，只带走唯一具有真正价值的信息。或者你可能是一名街头武士，一名期待雇佣的执行者，其战斗技能和反应能力足以让你成为最终的城市掠夺者。也或许是一名法师，一个拥有古老天赋的人，能够运用和塑造现在环绕着地球的魔法能量。如果你被雇佣进行暗影狂奔的话，那正是你需要的火力类型。
