Well, it's out, and in my opinion, it's a keeper. Ran the re-tooled "Food
Fight" adventure last night, and it was at least as much fun as I remembered
it from six years ago (the last time I'd been inclined to run a game of
anything).

From a layout POV, this book is just gorgeous. I like the layout of the
cover (and the cover for NEW SEATTLE), and hope they keep that design
consistent across the core books for SR3. The cover art itself is, from
where I sit, the best cover art on a SHADOWRUN product in, well, ever. The
interior design is also very nice to look at.

Haven't had much of a chance to look at the remaining two adventures,
"Supernova" and "Site of Desecration", just yet, but the cursory scan
I have
given them tell me that they live up to their advertising and demonstrate
basic core rule systems for new GMs and players.

So go snag yourself a copy. You'll thank me later.

One of the coolest things about First Run is
it's artwork. Gone are the cartoonish characters.

For me the highlight of flicking through this is
the first ever picture of the Renraku Red Samurai.
These fraggers look nasty..
(before you rules jockeys slam me the pics in
Original Seattle were of Renraku Corporate
Police, not the Elite Red Samurai.)

So far so good.
