From the introduction: Sixth World is a "hack" of Dungeon World which attempts to capture the flavor of the world of the well-known Shadowrun. The Sixth World is the dangerous and grim future of our own world, where magic has resurfaced, megacorporations rule the world, and humanity has perfected incredible new technological capabilities including advanced cybernetics and the worldwide virtual reality network called the Matrix. ... This Simplified edition of Sixth World...is very similar [to the original] – I see myself more as an editor and final beta-tester than new author, and I aim to make the game "production quality".
