Sometimes I want to rename the books I am reviewing to better fit the content. This one would be called Return of Black Hammer: More Guns. Like its predecessor this book gives the reader a good amount of weapons for a near future game. They fit well in a cyber punk game as well as anything on the cusp of Progressive Levels 5 and 6 as defined in the d20 Future book.

This book is a good follow up to the first one. It is again written by M Jason Parent. EN Publishing as everyone should know by now is a leader in the PDF industry. The PDF is longer then the first coming it at around a dozen pages and has the same basic layout and look. The art of the weapons is nicely done, but the layout leaves something to be desired as there are two pages that hare just half blank. Other then that the book looks good. Like the first one it is book marked and has some gray borders that will eat a bit of ink when printed.

The book has a lot of different guns presented in it. I count about forty new weapons and three new types of ammo. The weapons are nicely described and fill out a good variety of arms from pistols to assault rifles. They are all fully stated out with a few new rules on how they interact with some of the burst rules from d20 Modern for instance.

The book makes a good addition to the weapons found in the d20 Modern and Future books. The level of detail is much greater making them a bit more interesting to use as they become more then basic weapon stat blocks.

This one I did find to be better then the first but still missing a little something. It is an enjoyable read but really did not make be excited to use anything in here although in a modern game I probably will.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Another excellent BlackHammer product. Good descriptions, excellent line drawings-you can use the pdf to quickly create player handouts so they can see what their weapon lokks like.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Excellent quiality.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nonthing.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Excellent layout, good stats, nicely balanced. I like it.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Some really cool near-future gun designs in here. To be honest, I would have liked more. The release seems well thought-out and, as is characteristic of this line, is very clean an accessable.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The ingram caseless SMG line. Very distinctive look, and that look is COOL.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The art on the Cameron & Sooch weapons. Not nearly as good as the rest of the line.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Some good firearms for a near future game. It reminds me of what one would find in a cyberpunk setting, and that is a good thing. Being a gun book it is limited in its campaign use, but it will get a lot of use in any setting that has weapons of this era.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: It's a gun book. They are great.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

This PDF presents three new types of ammunition and several types of firearms. There are illustrations of the firearms mentioned as well as of the ammunition types. The illustrations are b/w and well-done, even though they could have had some more detail. The weapons presented are from the "near future" (basically covering a time period from about 2010 to 2030).

The PDF is well-written, obviously by someone with a knowledge of the handgun jargon. I've spotted two minor editing mistakes. I'm not entirely convinced of the technical feasibility of certain designs presented, but the firearms in question look cool, and this is a role-playing supplement, not "Handgun Digest", so that is OK by me.

In general this is a great PDF for a DM who wants to "spice up" the list of "Light revolver" and "Heavy handgun" for his/her players.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The illustrations look good, and will certainly make your players crave the firearms presented. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The time period. I don't really know what kind of setting to use these weapons for, except perhaps a Cyberpunk one. They are too modern for a "modern day" campaign, and too old for general use in most d20 Future campaigns I have in mind. This is a minor quip, really, as someone with a good imagination probably can come up with a good explanation.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Great little supplement for the gunner is us all. A very nice addition to any GMs library.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
