Capsule Review by Gilbert J. Otero on 20/08/01
Genre tags: Fantasy Science Fiction
!Spoiler Warning!

I just got it...After breezing through it...it is a must have for anyone contuing to play Shadowrun in 2061 ...The world changing events they added at first makes you say "What the frag did they do?!?

Let me get to the meat and potatoes...The book has alot of useful game idea’s for adventure’s, or a campaign setting around any one of the major changes. I can’t give everything away, but here are the most world altering events: Japan is in chaos from severe natural disasters, the new 14 y/o emperor ascends the throne, and the Japanese parts of Cal free have been taken over from a general within the Imperial Marines…A dragon has entered from the Dunkelzahn rift, and is now controlling Denver…New free spirits entered from the same rift with a malign unknown scheme’s that take over dead bodies, or projecting magicians (Maybe just be some form of “Horror” constructs for you Earthdawn fanatics)…The strange phenomenon known as the SURGE is mutating denizens (People, and animals) of the 6th world randomly is weird, but cool. They also add some creatures from Earthdawn here…An orichcalcum rush…Yucatan war…Toxic baddies on the rise…Corp’s struggles for power…A new “space race”…Religious fanatics…some mass hysteria…rebellions…and everything else fun to give the runners a lot to do in the little span of a year’s time…Its going to be a busy year in the shadows…Go out and buy it…I know you’ll enjoy it…
