Nice to see you know what thoughts I have about this, when I didn't even
know that myself :) If you're talking about the reviews at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/shadowrun/7300.html, then you'll notice that I
gave nearly all the adventures 3 out of 5 for layout...

(Dreamchipper is the third adventure, BTW.)

I was looking at the (rather out of date) adventure competition that was (or
maybe still is) on the Plastic Warriors page. If I remember rightly the
guidelines include (and I paraphrase here to the best of my memory)
"...should be laid out in a manner similar to the first senarios (DNA/DOA,
Mercurial...etc) Fasa used to publish... Ready to run with minimal work from
the GM..."

My apologies if I've assumed that means you like them... :-S

What that line meant is that these are in a good format for ready-to-run
adventures, unlike, say, Blood in the Boardroom. It was there to avoid
getting adventures laid out in all sorts of different formats, not
necessarily because I think it's the best layout possible for adventures.

Hey, I didn't say I didn't like (most of) them, did I? :)
