TL; DR– Advice, but light on crunch. 90%
Basics– Do you know your head from a hole in the dirt? Get some help from the old chummers! This book is an advice book about how Shadowruns go down. It’s written in the style of several older runners discussing how to properly do a job in the Shadowrun universe.
Mechanics or Crunch– If you want ANY crunch in this book like qualities or items, you will not be happy with this one. This book is NOT a sourcebook but it’s more a strategy guide of how to play. It’s fun, but know what you are getting into! -/5
Theme or Fluff– What’s here is good, but if you have a Shadowrun game, this might not be the most useful. The advice from the old guys is always a good place to start learning a game. But, if you are an old guy, then you won’t find much in this book. I enjoyed the material, but it is mostly things I learned listening to the older Shadowrun players. 4/5
Execution– PDF? Yep. Hyperlinked? Yep. Solid Art? Yep. Good layout? Yes. I’m pretty happy with this book, and I think Catalyst has learned from their past mistakes regarding layout and design. 5/5
Summary-This book is really designed for players who don’t yet have a group. If you have a dedicated Shadowrun group that has played multiple editions, then this won’t really give you much new information. If you know the game, then I might give this a pass. If you are new and looking for tips and tricks on how to play and do well, then this is gonna be a great book to learn the ropes. 90 %
