Quality work, guys! Just enough wit to keep the crunch interesting, and there's definitely a very-appreciated new emphasis on clarity (in, for example, the difference between spending and burning Edge, which I'm ashamed to admit I apparently had been misunderstanding for several years now). Lots of production values, too-- the art's good, and the aesthetic of the book is just glorious. Love the chart and sidebar borders.
Not sure I'm crazy about the new test notation, which seems kind of verbose... I'm probably going to end up shortening it to something like Mechanic + LOG [M, 18, 1h] instead of Mechanic + Logic [Mental] (18, 1 hour), but I can understand not wanting to scare off new players with a bunch of really complicated acronyms and notation.
Overall? If the rest of the book is half this good, I'm gonna be a happy GM.
(Also, found two typos you might want to fix:
p 49, sidebar, last sentence: "primer runner"
p 55, Contacts, third paragraph, last sentence: "BThe Loyalty rating ranges fro,")

A very awesome set of cards. Comes in handy when ya need to look at stats for a specific vehicle. Can not wait till the next set comes out.

This is a short story, not a preview of Shadowrun 5. Pictures are nice though.

SEAN'S PICK OF THE DAY: Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but I am really glad to see these available this way. I have every intention of using them in Virtual Table Top play.

Well worth the purchase. Brings in a whole new light on the BTL and matrix addiction life.

Pretty pictures, short story and other fluff for background already know. Not an actual preview of the new edition rules at all.

A fun take on converting battletech stats to historical vehicles, in theory you could fight a WWII game using battletech rules. Given the time it takes to play battletech compared to most available WWII games out there only the most committed would do so. You cannot complain at the price though.

only a short story and a dictionary (shadowrun speech <-> ordinary speech). i hoped there were some tiny information about the new rules or something like that, but nothing. maybe in a new preview will be more usable information then in this little vacuous pdf.

A great free product, very informative. Compared to standard 2750 era and above, these once mighty war machines are a joke. A good read.

A mighty tome, and a good read! I found the readout to be very informative, covering diverse vehicles and even industrial mechs and exoskelletons. Highly recomended. I only wished it could be purchased as a hard copy printed item.

It's a short story. Catalyst if all i cared about was stories I'd buy novels they're a lot cheaper. This gives me no clue if this will be a useful new edition. Or yet another slash and burn of the setting in order to obsolete all my old books in order to try and make me buy new ones.

It's a short story. A very good one that wets the appetite.
