Old school, nothing special, ruleset. There is a separate skill for reading lips. Really? Booklet says there will be many more skills in the actual rulebook, but I am not sure I want to hear about them. Hacking seems to be important part of the game. Not sure why. Mini-adventure is okay, but again, nothing special. I really wanted to like this, but there is just nothing here that would make me want to play this instead of coming up with stats for the Terminators and playing on some other system that both me and others are already familiar with.

Our group has now used this to run a post-apocalyptic game for four sessions and it has been very entertaining so far. I've found that using this system activates all the players nicely, where in traditional games some players fall easily into idle mode (especially true with online gaming).

I would give the product 4 - or maybe even 5 - stars if it didn't have the awful underweight-big-breasted-no-underwear-wearing-women "art" in it.

Very good, well written mini campaign for Shadow of the Beanstalk (could easily be used in almost any cyberpunk setting, really). To me the story of the campaign is exactly what good cyberpunk stories are about. Should be easy, at least for an experienced GM, to flesh out to an even bigger campaign. For $5 an absolute bargain. Hope to see more from the author.
