That's the great thing about Shadowbeat -- it's not a book that you get
immediately usable add-ons for your street sam, mage, decker, etc. out of,
but it gives a _lot_ of background about the Sixth World that other books
seem to neglect: daily life stuff that doesn't do much in an actual
adventure, but which is very good to round out a character.
