Oh Ronnie, I'm sorry, I was going to tell you what I have in hands/on my desk
right now, but being Swedish (I'm presuming actually in Europe), I don't know
when it will be available to you.
***** First Run ******
Yep Folks, that's right, it exists. It's FASA's newest game/source type
release, and I can readily say that is both things.
It's actually two games, with "Stuffer Shack" rewritten and redetailed in the
first half, including some easy-to-follow stuff for the new(er) player. Hell,
I was smilin'-like-the-bandit because they kept the "chunky/salsa" table, just
with a slight twist or two new.
The second adventure is "Novahot", and is (from first reading through) a
really versatile, all-bases-covered, kind of adventure. I won't give away any
details, but it is REALLY nice.
Overall Appearance? The book cover is cool, and the artwork is definitely
maintaining a better hold than Shadowbeat could ever dream of becoming.
Personally, I like this cover better than I do SR3, RA:S or New Seattle.
Make's me curious what SR Comp3 and MitS is going to look like. Inside the
organization is still maintaining a step above previous edition's works.
There are tables, but they are in nice places. There are NPC's, and areas for
Legwork etc.
However, in the first section, Legwork and other stuff is detailed really
nicely.
I'll chat more later once I actually absorb/reread this one for real quality
factors.
