The encounters chapter is the worst bit of Sprawl Sites, definitely. The
maps are okay, though very basic (compare them to those in the
Millennium's End GM Companion... ("What, you want an airport map? Okay."))
and the archetypes and contacts are good to expand the game world, but the
encounters...
Every #*#&%^ time I decide to roll one up it's one that requires too much
preparation or won't fit into the situation the PCs are in. Why are there
no simple encounters of the "Three gangers try to rob the PCs" kind? Maybe
we'll have to write a net.book with encounters like that...
