Re: [RPG]: Emergence, reviewed by knasser (4/1)

A negative review, but a pretty fair one IMO. Like you, I've bought pretty much everything for Shadowrun 4th (just as I did for the previous editions). And like you, I was quite disappointed in Emergence. I had thought, before I bought it, that it would be part adventure, part sourcebook. Sort of "Street Magic for Technomancers" with some adventure ideas thrown in. When the book came, I flipped through it, thinking "Where are the rules? Where are all the cool Technomancer character options? Heck, where is the adventure even?"

I read some of the book's shadowtalk, but it quickly bored me. I put it on the shelf and haven't touched it since, disappointed that I wasted my money, and much more wary about buying any more Shadowrun 4th ed books sight unseen.
