This is a book that while I have not been waiting for it, I am happy to see it come out. I know the author, M Jason Parent is a big cyber punk fan and this small book defiantly fits into a cyber punk game. It is always nice to see a writer get to write something that they have been wanting to for a long time. I however was never a big fan of the cyber punk or the not so distant future RPGs.

This book is a PDF by EN Publishing. They are one of the leaders in the PDF market and the author M Jason Parent is a talented writer and has shown himself time and time again to have a good grasp on both the mechanics and the details of a game book. The PDF is a small one only being five pages long. Despite that they still have placed book marks in it. The art and layout are good and each weapon is nicely drawn up. There are some gray borders that wile looking great on the screen can eat up a bit of ink for people printing them off.

The book is about some guns. Some nicely described and well detailed guns; but just guns. There are five different ones presented here and they are versatile and seem really good. The book has these set in Progress Level 6 as shown in the d20 Future supplement for d20 Modern. The weapons fire using a chemical propellant system. I am curious if such a weapon exists or how the science behind it is. Either way the detail on how the weapons work is provided and seems to make sense as a near future weapon.

The background information is nice and with luck the company will be expanded and detailed in the future. It would also be cool to see other weapons in and expanded catalogue or cheap knock off versions of these high quality weapons.

In the end though it is a little hard for me to get excited about some new guns. As well as they are detailed and described the book lacks a little something extra. I am not sure what but hopefully in future books we will see a little more.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

This is a really cool little book. Binary propellant technology is something I've always thought was cool, and it's nice to see goodies like this making their way into D20. My only complaint is that I wanted more! (Not sure what form it'd take, either, but I wanted more!)<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Fantastic, clean art. Great handling of a cool near-future sci-fi concept. Plenty of useful rules and flavor text.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I wished there was more!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<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>

Well written and quite interesting. That binary propellants for small arms might not be here just yet, but binary explosives is, so this booklet is definitely "on the edge" of tomorrow's science. Also, I liked the fluff; it's not just "another gun".<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Nice art, good ideas.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
