Polychrome: Cyberpunk Adventure for Stars Without Number

First off, this is a world book. I went in expecting something akin to skyward steel or relics of the lost but that's not what this is, but that's a fault of my lack of research rather than the book itself. It adds some new features to hacking but these are quite shallow compaired to the 2E beta and mostly ammount to examples of hacking activities and only really add the basic idea of a false sin from shadow run and while personally the idea of making a fake identity seems pretty basic to me, the examples/rules might help other people. The book also gives some expanded examples on criminal activity but again I personally find this stuff pretty obvious and you could probably find a larger amount of more indepth examples in a reddit thread. On a second point the cyberware was Seriously disappointing for a "cyberpunk" adventure. It has 17 implants/augments 5 of which of which are included in the 2E Beta and while this made them first it doesn't change the fact that they are now available for free. The most interesting one not in the beta isn't even in the cybernetic's section nor a general implant but rather an piece of equipment that constitutes the book's contribution to psionics.

All in all, I don't feel this is a worth while purchase now that 2e beta is out and mostly finished. I also feel you could probably get a larger quantity of equal or greater quality cyberpunk themed rules and equipment from free forums such as reddit, RPGGeek, or even /tg/

This was the book I was waiting for. It gives me the cyber rules I wanted to SWN and it's got a great dark setting included. I honestly think Sine Nomine could spin this out into it's own full seting book with larger random run generation, city creation tables, etc.

I bought both the PDF and the print versions of this book and have found them identical. High quality writing with good but fairly rare art. This supplement is a scenario/world book in the same way that Hard Light was. This has a distinctly classic cyberpunk feel (ala evil corporations and society barely brought back from the brink of calamity) to it. There is plenty of dystopia here, with the Scream being a factor in the state of things but the real problems coming from the results of an alien bioweapon. The effects of it are now known as The Stain. One alien race is introduced as well as more cyberware. The scenario was great and could easily be ported over to another cyberpunk game with a little alteration to the alein/Stain components. There are rules for hacking but they seem more for this scenario. 40 pages make up this book, so for this price it's a steal.

I've have all the Stars Without Number supplements and the original Star Without Number as a print on demand product. I also purchased this product as print demand.

The quality of the printed product is high like the original SWN product and I am well pleased. I am liking the Print on Demand option from RPGNOW very much ;-)

Inside the layout and content are excellent and good additions to the game.
