'GREAT APPRECIATION

YOUR GOOD SERVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE INMATES NEED THIS KIND OF SERVICE IT GIVES THEM SOMETHING TO OCCUPY THEIR TIME THANK YOU

More Gear - Less Filling!

Although packed with all sorts of useful information, nifty 'ware, and cool equipment, Man & Machine continues the latest FASA trend of fairly flavorless material. As a reference book, this is excellent... well cross-referenced, covering a great deal of information previously availiable only after searching through multiple volumes, and well clarified and thought-out. For the toymonger or the street sam in the group, this is a must-see. However, don't expect any shadowtalk here, folks, it's strictly rules and equipment.

Good but a little over the top.

While a good idea they have way too much stuff. Who in their right mind would ever need almost 160 pages of rules and equipment. While adding far more depth and volume they added so much that using the book is a little tedious at first. Also they mad eit so that unless you are a street sam or cyber-monster yuo will never need this much ware'. Also who giver a rat's a-- if you fart in a public place you don't need bioware to prevent it and ant GM who uses that to penalise their characters should be drawn and quartered. SHadowrun is designed to be free flowing while this book covers a lot of holes in SR3 it also slows character creation and game play.All in all not bad and worth your money but be ready for an info overload.

Excellent Additon to 3rd Edition

Shadowrun 3rd Edition has been very well thought out, in my opinion the best game balanced edition to date. This book adds a very needed overhaul to the implant technology for SR. The authors went through great detail to cover all areas of 'cybertechnology' which had been previously covered in SHADOWTECH and CYBERTECHNOLOGY and made them better balanced and playable. In addition to updating the previously published 'technology', it adds many new systems as well as explains some of the most debated and controversial game rules. The book is very well laid out and most references made to other SR books are very well cross-referenced. A must for any Gamer that wants to keep up with the SOTA. It surpassed many of my expectations.

Lots of useful revisions!

This 3rd Edition book is great! The revisions to the rules that they've made in here make things so much easier and so much more interesting! There are no more unfair advantages (well, some maybe, but less). And it's much more mage friendly. All of this is VERY good. And the additions are cool, too. The balance tail, for example, looks cool and is functional, too! All you 'Runners out there, GET THIS BOOK, it's worth it!
