I was looking for a cyberpunk-style game, but something different to the others on the market. My players are huge into D&D 5th, and they wanted something else to try out. After watching various people let's play this game, I dived in previously and we've been having a lot of fun with it. I got the updated core recently, and it's even better with a couple of new gangs too and they go great with the Combined Cities book.

If you want something that's cyberpunk, puts a different spin on it, and provides a simpler version of D&D 5th Edition's rules, then this is the game for you. The setting is extremely well realised, and there's more of a sci-fi theme and flavor to this one. The world is just as bleak as other cyberpunk genre ones, but there are bits of Cowboy Bebop here, Blade Runner, Akira, and more.

You won't find any wizards, or techno-magicians in this game at all. You will find a lot of cyberpunks vs. corporations, and the dark future of earth is perfect for the backdrop of global disaster and economic collapse.

I have been telling all kinds of stories with this one, and even ones which take place in corporate controlled space outside the realms of earth itself. I've found the rules easy to use, follow, and my players love it.

Hoping to see more from this IP in the future.

I'm Darren W. Pearce, you might know the name (or not) from various RPGs over the last 13 or so years. I've seen a lot of RPG settings, I have worked on the Doctor Who RPG for Cubicle 7, Lone Wolf with Mongoose and Joe Dever and I've been kicking around in the RPG field for about 34 years or so.

I have seen a lot of settings, but Sean Patrick Fannon's Shaintar is one of the best High Fantasy Epic settings I've seen. I picked this up recently and it's a superb take on fantasy in general, packed with information galore on Shaintar and so many nice touches. I know my players are going to enjoy playing in a world that's not about murdering kobolds for gold coins, or slaughtering hordes of orcs.

I'm a big fan of Asprin's work, of Leiber and Shaintar is one of those rare settings that gives me the same chills as I got when I found the adventures of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, or delved into Sanctuary for the first time.

So Sean's really knocked this one out of the ballpark and I can't wait to spring it on my players. Top quality writing, good art and excellent setting information combine to really make this shine.

Credo.
