Don't know about anyone else but I picked up my copy of No Surrender, No Retreat today from my lGS. I am prolly the last to do so, but my game shop isn't that speedy.
I must say that upon first opening NSNR, I had to smile and take a moment to reflect. Thank you, the people at Mongoose for Dedicating the book to the memory of Richard Biggs. It was unexpected, and made me as a fan, nod to myself with a "I won't forget him".
The chart on page 26 is a nice addition that outlines each episode the speculative date of each, page number, and denotes the new piece of technology, item, feat, skill, or rule that was added based on said episode. Again, this is nice, and something I will be using quite often.
I would also like to say thanks for lightening the images in this publication. In the past the images have been darker than I would have liked, but one will find more acceptable ones here.
From my initial scans the new rules are needed and shall be implimented into my campaign quickly. Primarily the Hijacking of Communications.
Lastly, the "Hitchikers guide to the galaxy" has already gotten my imagination going for possible adventures I can throw the characters into just by having them loose their ship and attempt to travel to a destination.
Thanks again,
PsyJack
