The Wild Calls
Gangers. Corp security. Mr. Johnson. Organized crime. Other shadowrunners. Running in the Sixth World does not exactly lack for obstacles, but only foolish runners worry solely about metahuman opponents. There are plenty of other ways the world can kill you, from throat-ripping martachoras to blood-sucking chupacabras, from the aggressive gamma spider to the swarming harpy. While most runners would be happy to simply avoid these threats, it's not always possible. Critters may be used as security, they may swarm in abandoned areas runners must investigate, or they may carry valuable reagents runners need. Some of them may even hold the keys to unlocking the sort of powers runners covet.
Howling Shadows is the critter sourcebook for Shadowrun, Fifth Edition. With a broad range of critters for every habitat, the book has plot hooks that show how critters may be used in campaigns, details on new critter powers, and other information to flesh out Shadowrun adventures and campaigns. Sink your teeth into this one and see how untamed the Sixth World can be.
Howling Shadows is for use with Shadowrun, Fifth Edition.

Pas parfait ni indispensable, mais intéressant. | |
La cinquième édition de Shadowrun n'est pas particulièrement mémorable. Mais, oh! Surprise! Catalyst Game Labs nous a pondu un bestiaire qui surpasse celui de la 3ième et 4ième édition. Il contient quand même les défauts que les produits de CGL des dernières années (Travail d'édition bâclé, bourrage d'erreur, couverture discutable, qualité d'impression aléatoire d'une page à l'autre)... Bref, ça sent le rush. Mais pour moi, un bestiaire, ça doit être illustré et malgré un effort pour mieux faire que les deux derniers bestiaires, c'est insuffisant à ce chapitre et comble de malheur quand il y a des créatures illustrées, leur qualité est parfois décevante. Les blocs de statistique des créatures sont facile à lire et sont complets. Mais il y a aussi des délires comme les Protosapiens ou les Technocreatures qui alourdissent l'univers (je devrais plutôt dire polluent, mais bon...). Les clins d'oeil au Paranormal Animals of North America Guide de la V1 et V2 sont très appréciés. ¨ À la fin du livre, une bonne initiative: on retrouve un index pour les pouvoirs animals, un index qui regroupe les créatures selon leur habitat et un dernier index qui regroupe non seulement les créatures de ce livre mais également les créatures publiées dans les autres livres comme le livre de base. Bref, c'est un plaisir de voir que CGL est capable de sortir du matériel intéressant même si c'est encore loin de la perfection. |
