Originally it was supposed to be Gun & Run, but due to a snafu with editing it came out Run & Gun so they just went with that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Worse than the core book if reports are to be trusted. I don't own either because, well...these reports I keep hearing from others jumping on these grenades keeps me from wasting my very limited discretionary funds. |

I bought the PDF of Run and Gun and was really disappointed by it. The core book wasn't so bad I didn't think, but the supplements are draining my desire to move to SR5.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't clear up how to mod guns on what's considered integral and not. I've been going nuts trying to figure out those damn modding rules. |

The only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't clear up how to mod guns on what's considered integral and not. I've been going nuts trying to figure out those damn modding rules. Namely that it wasn't on the level of Arsenal or Cannon Companion, let alone Fields of Fire. It doesn't have enough crunch and a good portion of the crunch it did have didn't feel terribly useful. Thanks for the 20 or so pages of maneuvers most people won't touch though... |

You need very good dice pools to get these maneuvers pst usual defenses - and still cause an effect, I think.

Depends on the manoeuvre but that's the price for an added effect and/or getting around armour.

Some of the maneuvers are fair value for the karma cost.
But most of them, and virtually all the called shot options, are just pointless. Yes, there should be a cost to things, but when the cost is so prohibitively high that it is virtually always to your advantage to go with a straight-up damaging or subduing attack, then there is no reason to have them. Yeah, if you get really lucky they can provide some nice flavor, but then if you lay the smackdown on someone with a regular attack, you can always just fluff up the description through roll-play. I have to concur that most of these moves are abysmal value for cost, if not outright worthless. |
