I purchased this pdf so I could keep my print copy from falling apart. The pdf quality, apart from the slightly poor quality scan of the covers, is excellent with crisp text and interior art. The original fold out Chicago city map is also reproduced as an electronic version which is nice and easily printable for gaming use.

While this sourcebook book was originally for Shadowrun's second edition, so the mechanics contained inside are outdated for the latest 5th edition. But I can still find tons of uses for this book. The writing is atmospheric and sets the mood for the mostly destroyed Chicago like no other sourcebook written for Shadowrun. This book actually ranks probably one of the best sourcebooks ever written for the Shadowrun universe in terms of focus and style. The Bug City "sub-setting" is actually culmination of the events of a few previous adventures, like Universal Brotherhood. They're not need to run Bug City but can be combined to a wonderful long story campaign. To this day, I've run more games of Shadowrun in the Bug City than any other locale in the setting. It simply is that good.

4 out of 5 score, comes from the from the lack of print-on-demand option (at the time of writing) and the slightly poor quality scans of the covers. The setting material itself is easily five star material.

What can I say. One of the best miniature rulesets to come out in the last couple of years. While it is nominally presented at 15mm skirmish scale, the rules work equally well with 6mm, 10mm, 20mm and 28mm scales. Even larger if you prefer. Just adjust ranges accordingly. Personally I've played Gruntz with 15mm and 28mm/30mm scales and only range conversion needed was moving from centimeters to inches. The game plays reasonably fast but still feels that your force's tactical flexibility is not limited. There's also quite extensive alternative rules section to customize the game your personal preference and miniature collection.

One of the biggest draws of Gruntz is that it has point buy unit builder. All the sample armylists are build with the same structure and can be customized to your liking. Ever had a cool idea for a character, a vehicle or a unit but the fixed armylists don't really reflect your idea. With Gruntz you can do this. Downside of this is that unless you have a really clear idea what you want from your army units, the unit building can be a bit much for new players. Luckily the book gives good examples.

All in all, highly recommended for experienced miniature gamers.
