As I noted in my SOE review, I lately just picked up SotA64, SoE, and MJLBB.
I read SotA64 first. I shoulda read in chrono order, but eh. That said, in a section by section review... Espionage - This was just plain neat. I could actually use this. Some of the Bond-ish gear made me go "eh", but I'm more realistic in my play than many. Behind the badge - Finally, a nod to the govcops! A very useful chapter. Society - Ahem. I was a little kid when Gangsta Rap hit the scene. Orxploitation had me laughing like hell. Good one. Gear - This was the section where I had issues. The Power Level of SR seems in some ways to be approaching the RIFTS curve, with having to bring out more powerful stuff nearly every book. Aiee. All in all, though, a good book. Two Thumbs Up. |
