Based on the classic 1989 four-part Japanese anime series, from the mind of Japan`s prominent storyteller artist, Masamune Shirow! In the year 2010 A.D., the Earth is a very unfriendly place -- the atmosphere is a poisonous bacterial soup, vicious underworld organizations have run of the cities, and the governments are virtually helpless. Leading the attack on society are the sexy and ruthless cat sisters, Annapuna and Unipuma, and the grotesque half-cyborg, Buaku. The last line of defense against utter chaos is Newport City`s Tank a team of trigger-happy officers with an affinity for demolition and disaster. The book offers a complete role-playing game (featuring Guardians Of Order`s Tri-Stat System), an extensive resource and reference section about the popular series, and a full-colour gallery of spectacular animation art. For role-players and Shirow fans alike!
This is a roleplaying game book, but I didn't get it for the game. I wanted a resource book that tells me details on the technology from the Dominion Tank Police tv show. And the book does deliver that. You get a lot of details on the various tanks and other vehicles along with other equipment used. The thing is since this is a gaming book you have to hunt for the non-gaming info and in some cases extrapolate information from the gaming stats. Still I enjoy having this book.
