Title: Fields of Fire (Shadowrun, No 7114) by Tom Dowd ISBN: 1-55560-223-1 Publisher: Fasa Pub. Date: 01 April, 1994 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.7 (10 reviews)

Summary: Outdated but Potentially Rewarding
Comment: Fields of Fire was originally the 2nd weapons expansion for Shadowrun. It was mostly the mercenary sourcebook and was 1/3 new stuff, 1/3 new rules, and 1/3 an essay on how to be a mercenary.
As of Shadowrun 3rd edition and the Cannon Companion this book is really outdated. Some the weapons and stuff in it may not even be useable under 3rd edition rules without some conversion. However, it does have 2 strong suits that I think make it worth picking up if you're into Shadowrun.
First of all, the part at the beginning about what it means to be a mercenary is pretty interesting and potentially very useful as far as role playing goes.
Second, there are pictures of all the gear and vehicles in the book. While the Cannon Companion *does* have listing for all of the weapons in this book (I believe) it's always nice to be able to put a picture to the item.
Be warned though that some of the stuff in this can unbalance your game as most of the weapons are military and very powerful. I'd reccomend keeping it hard for your runners to get ahold of this stuff and keep it very expensive. After all, military grade hardware should not be easy to come by on the street.
It's middling easy to find and you can pick it up for a decent price.

Summary: Did we really need this?
Comment: Unless your GM runs a very different type of campaign, then this book is mostly just a bunch of new toys for the Samurai. Not very useful, and most of the items/ rules listed imply a scale of combat larger than what I'd like to get my character into. Some of the rules expansions in the back can be useful, though- if you love having a million rules to govern every single thing you can do.

Summary: This is an awesome almanac for all Shadowrunners
Comment: I just recently got this book and though it is a little out of date(about five years)but it is still a great book that has all the weapons, armor, vehicles, cyber and bioware etc. This book also contains a lot of helpful rules for being a full time Merc. Personally this is my favorite book mainly because it contains all of the gear and rules you could ever need. This book contains gear from SRII,Street Samurai Catolouge,and Cyber and Shadowtech.
