5150 Urban Renewal playtest AAR (with pictures).

[Legionnaire]

I've played many of THW's products, but thought I should give 5150 Urban Renewal a go. It's quite different from the others, in that there are LOADS of tables to see WHO you meet and WHERE and how you interact with them. Will take some getting used to.

I tried it out and had an Involuntary Encounter first thing, a Confrontation of a Personal nature. Generating who and where, the table told me a Broker and an Entertainer, so I came up with the story that Oberon owed the Broker money. The game itself only took about 5 minutes to play, but lots of looking up the different tables when establishing setting up the board and the involved NPC's (no PEF's in this encounter thank God!!!).
