The Man with the Plans by Dave Barton is our latest free Shadowrun short story — It’s a case of déjà vu for Vancouver sea dog Monty Crane as he ferries a team of shadowrunners to meet with tin-pot megalomaniac Arty Skunk—but this time, maybe Monty will have one last chance to fix the mistakes of his past.
