Description
The Pacific Rim. The name conjures up images of high-tech glitterlands. Here every dream can come true, realized by the tech-wizards of the Orient. But under the Westernized exterior lie traditions thousands of years old, and beneath the clean streets lurks a shadow world more sinister than any American sprawl.
This is the Edge of the CYBERPUNK gaming world: Hawaii to China, Japan to New Zealand. The \"Rim\" has it all: commerce, smuggling, piracy, and revolutions. This region is a place of surprising contradictions and diversity.
It's all in this travel-style guide: Nineteen different countries toured in detail, with NPCs and Adventure Hooks highlighted, plus regional maps. Need the inside on the Outside? You want the Pacific Rim Sourcebook: your guide to the Mysteries of the East.
