This is the archive site for the Hiddengrid, the original Shadowrun podcast. Created by Zendead in the distant year of 2008, this show went on to dipping their toes with several actual play series and a lot of adventures were had with some rad chummers.
Thank you to the folks who checked us out over the years, tossed us some nuyen to keep the lights on, and gave us feedback and love over the years. We hope you’ve still got that sixth world bliss in you, and that you’re able to explore the multitude of great Shadowrun and table-top rpg podcasts and streams out there. It’s a very different world than when we ran the shadows, but then each edition has always brought new dangers, haven’t they?
What is Shadowrun?
Shadowrun is a table top RPG originally created by FASA. It is owned by Topps Company, Inc and licensed to Catalyst Games Labs for production. Shadowrun takes place in a cyberpunk style dark future where the reemergence of magic has changed the structure of society, corporations, and the fabric of reality itself. Players take on the role of shadowrunners, mercenaries for hire who use magic, cybernetics, and guns to get whatever job they’re offered done.
The table top game is currently in it’s sixth edition, and created several offshoots such as the digital games Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Chronicles and the board game Shadowrun Crossfire. It’s a rich world with over twenty-five years of lore, novels, and games.
What was the Hiddengrid?
Hiddengrid: The Sixth World Chronicles was a Shadowrun Actual Play podcast. Hosted by nulloperations, the series took the SWC players back to the 2050’s and some of the classic Shadowrun 1st, 2nd, and 3rd edition adventures from the past thirty years. It ended on it’s third season.
Episodes posted Mondays, measuring 30 to 60 minutes in length, and typically covered half a session.
The Classic Episodes of the Hiddengrid are available. These episodes, hosted by the sysop Zendead, featured Shadowrun discussion, gameplay, and aspects of the game from a player perspective.
