This book includes:

Great art like in therulesbook. 2 mediocre adventures, not relly worked out and several interesting hooks, but not enough as to make an adventure. Had the same problem with the corebook, but then i was still exited. I don t feel like running these adventures. Unfortunatly i will run one in the evening..... But we laughed a lot. Will alter score after more plays. Plays will be recorded under tales from the loop

A pretty short book for the money, but if you need more good Tales from the Loop story seeds and amazing artwork you will not be disappointed. Stories are short and decent (nothing Cinema worthy). I really liked the Hack Your Hometown section and I used that idea for this book campaign.
