Anyone know what it is about and is it any good for such a price? I looked on Amazon but they don't have a description.

Also, Paul, I totally understand if your tastes and preferences run a different direction. It's the nature of the beast. I know that this is against the Internet Code and all, but I totally accept that not everyone has the same opinioni as me, and taht doesn't make them wrong. Usually (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
So here's a question for you... What kinds of stuff do YOU want to see more of? (Not that I have the ability to make that happen, but it never hurts to find out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |

QUOTE (Bull @ Dec 26 2011, 12:46 PM)  So here's a question for you... What kinds of stuff do YOU want to see more of? (Not that I have the ability to make that happen, but it never hurts to find out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) I'd like to see more in depth reviews of locations. Think Seattle Sourcebook but places like Prague, London, Hong Kong, and more. I'd like updated technical equipment, and a la Cybertechnology and Shadowtech I'd like to see how this stuff affects the sixth world. Because to me that's how you get the stories-you create a vast, expansive world, that can be interacted with. Not just a handful of individuals. (One thing that bugs me to no end is that the same NPC commentators appear in every single book. how many frickin' continents do these people work on? Seriously I get Turbo Bunny is someones NPC but after reading a few stories about her I find it incredulous that she has serious input on NeoTokyo, especially given what we know about her.) In short, I want depth. Take a snap shot of the world, and relay it to me. Don't just give me a profile on Bull, the Ork Decker. Show me why he matters? I can mass produce deckers. why does this one stand out? And since he stands out, why isn't he dead? How does this guy manage to stay alive. That's what I want to read. I loved books like the original Seattle Sourcebook (Seattle 2072 I like, but seriously we have some paragraphs lifted almost word for word. I get some Ork's robbed an underground restaurant in 40's, but why are we still talking about it 30 years later?); the Sprawl Survival Guide; a lot of the original location sourcebook's. They fleshed the world out, and made it easy to be interactive, and that's what keeps me playing the game. Now all that said I am still going to buy the books. I support the game, because I love it. I mean it's captured my attention and free time, and inspired me for the last 20 plus years. That's damned good. |
