The books detail Denver in the game of Shadowrun, including its six political sectors (each of which has its own laws, culture, and black market trade.) [2]

Reception

In the April 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #216), Rick Swan was cool to the boxed set, stating that "Despite its ambition, Denver is basically a water-treader, a look at a familiar setting from a different angle [...] It's a good read, but it's not much of a reference." Swan concluded by giving Denver: The City of Shadows an average rating of 4 out of 6, saying, "Experienced players should find Denver irresistable — providing, of course, they're willing to navigate all the silly lingo."
