Author's blurb: Descent into Shadows is an adventure designed to be run by a moderately experienced Games Master in order to introduce players who are both new to role-playing and / or new to the Shadowrun game. Play duration is variable and can be from 3 to 8 hours depending upon how the players decide to play things. This adventure can be run as a demonstration game at conventions and other events, however if the adventure looks to be going to over run the normal 4 hour slot, the later scenarios can be omitted and the action wrapped up earlier.
