I'm not intimately knowledgeable about the Shadowrun verse. To join, how much knowledge one would require? I'm not averse to a bit of study to join if any helpful links would be offered. Depending on how much is required to know in order to join I can attempt if it's alright.

Google search for "Shadowrun 20th Anniversary core PDF" and it shouldn't take you long to find the entire core book online, for free. I'd say read through the intro section there.
