Depends on the buyer and/or the group.

I bought it because I'm an unabashed Shadowrun Fanboy.  My group, however, might never read it.  So I got it on PDF.

It is very much a "Cotton Candy" publication.  Almost pure fluff, no crunch.

For me I think it is a really good source book.

For me I think it is a really good source book.

The two chapters on basic running seemed a little redundant with the stuff in the Companion..but they
are definately good for newer players. Especially the one that is just the story of the newbie runner
eventually losuing his hand in a trash compactor and getting a DocWagon Contract..

Hand?  Just a joint of a finger.  Still, as the Shadowtalk said, "Dick Move".

My group was asking me why Doc Wagon was willing to have Shadowrunners as clients, when I pointed out the DNA Sample you're supposed to provide, and then pointed out how likely anyone is to then perform a Shadowrun against the Corp after getting service with them.  They're getting paid by Shadowrunners to not have said Shadowrunners perform jobs against them.  Smart tactics when you come to think of it.

I also had them release a line of cybernetic replacement limbs using modern technology in 2070.

Notoriety sells, too.

Anyway, I just saw a hardcopy at my LCS and goddamn this is a beautiful book. Even if I didn't get my proofer credit. :P Folks would be well-advised to pick it up because it's good, and it will look good at the table.

Bonus points for talking with the store owner about getting me and possibly another freelancer to do a book signing and whole release event when Spy Games comes out. Thank you, Attitude. If I hadn't felt the need to comment about the non-credit, it probably wouldn't have ever happened. :D

It's a nice book with flavor...it's given me some ideas to make the world feel more complete, and it's given my players more ideas on how to make their characters be more well-rounded.

Am I the only one who is disappointed in the lack of game mechanics in this book? I was expecting a Fourth Edition answer to Shadowbeat with it's performance ratings and rocker status/lifestyle ratings.  :(

I'm disappointed by the lack of focus and... welll... attitude in this book. Lacking game mechanics come a close second, though.

I mentioned that when I came onboard, but that was too late. I'm hoping to do something about that.

As for UB, well ... Watch for upcoming Missions.

So far I've been liking what I'm reading and for my more pop culture obsessive technomancer its a perfect fit. El wifey also enjoys reading it too to help spruce up her melee adept. But I would like to see more Urban Brawl in something future ( I know missions was mentioned but more past that).

I think the only issue with the book is that it isn't AS GOOD as a great book that came out when we first got into the game.

Other than that one problem, it's a damn fine book.
