THE TAROT HAS AWAKENED…
The Tarot, a powerful divination artifact, has appeared in the Sixth World. It works its will on anyone who finds one of its mystical cards, from runners surviving on the street to corp executives battling in the boardroom. And not just people's lives will be changed, for the Awakened Tarot deck is more than just a formidable magic item, it has an agenda all its own, and will use those it comes in contact with to set its plans in motion…
Drawing Destiny is the latest original Shadowrun anthology, featuring twenty-three original stories about this brand-new artifact introduced into the game universe. Featuring stories from Michael A. Stackpole, Jennifer Brozek, Chris A. Jackson, Lucy A. Snyder, Aaron Rosenberg, R.L. King, Russell Zimmerman, Josh Vogt, Jason M. Hardy, and 14 more authors, these stories reveal how the Awakened Tarot will impact the Sixth World for better, and sometimes, for much worse…
CURATOR'S NOTE (The Magic, Monsters and Myth Bundle)
«The role-playing game Shadowrun has been one of the most popular tabletop games since it arrived on the scene more than 30 years ago.

Drawing Destiny focuses on the tarot…in a way that only Shadowrun can.» – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
