This book is a GREAT resource for advice and ideas on running RPG sessions of any genre. It's split into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of GMing, and the chapters are organized and themed as if you're running a TV show, which is a very appropriate comparison to a campaign.

I ran my first session yesterday after reading this (and Odyssey and Never Unprepared as well, which I will be reviewing separately), and it was a HUGE hit! We've got a timeframe set for the end of "Season One" of our campaign, and my plans are coming together much more easily with this advice.

Thank you so much!

I love this system! Yes, there is a new version in progress, but this one is definitely worth it in the meantime.

The system is highly customizable. Character creation in the core book is very simple. The game itself moves pretty fast and leaves plenty of room for improvisation on the fly, including a bunch of tables in the back of the book for randomly rolling NPCs, names, corporations, religions, etc.

An excellent resource for constructing alien races, creatures, artifacts, and - most importantly - ruined facilities to explore!

As with all of Crawford's SWN products, this one has tons of tables for either inspiring your own creation or randomly generating one to use for a session.

Love it!

Excellent! I grabbed this specifically for the LifePath rules and tables for SWN, and they're exactly what I hoped for! Just enough detail to make things work.
