I posted a review on DriveThruRPG yesterday.
Not gonna lie, this book really made me
itch for a vehicle mod system. I can't wait to mount HMGs loaded with DU ammo and set with underbarrel lasers onto a fully kitted-out Ares Roadmaster. I've got a Desert Wars campaign I've been planning for ages that really could use this -- and can make great use out of the mods this book provided.
Also, the C2 stats were a well-needed addition, I've got to say. Nice to see that C2 grenades are a possibility again.
I do not know. This maybe a setup for Kane to get someone close enough to kill the old brigand. There is at least one Cuban Vamp that is associated with the pirates who run out of the island. Then there is the fact that they talk about Renfield and the Orange eyes. I think that /dev/grrl is in a lot of trouble.
Honestly, it's probably a setup for dev/grrl to kill Kane. Its a good setup: there's tragedy involved, a reason for Jackpointers to stop trusting dev/grrl, an interesting plot twist, and we've already got at least one Cuban who wants Kane dead (Gingersnap) who might have started this plot in the first place. Throw in a possibility for /dev/grrl to get turned into a vampire -- or for Red to have to rescue her from said vampire(s) -- and you've got a pretty interesting potential story arc.
As such, it should instead be a plot by vampires to force Kane to help them steal the Gingerbread Man's lost horde of ancient Orichalcum coins, so that /dev/grrl and Gingersnap are forced to team up to rescue Kane and steal the Orichalcum back.
