                                        WHITE WOLF #31 (May/June)
                                      Shadows Across The Big Easy
                                        C. R. Shaver & Jason Rush
                                                       White Wolf
                                          Stone Mountain, Georgia
                                                            $3.50

Shadows Across the Big Easy is the first of a five part series
covering New Orleans. This installment deals with the history of
the area, and an overview. Maps are included for New Orleans, and
the French Quarter. The Big Easy is a very useful guide for
adventures in New Orleans.

There's not much else to be said about it. It is marred by the
lack of multiple fonts: comments from runners do not stand out
from the main text. Also, Voodoo is given only a few paragraphs.
Hopefully, the latter will be fixed in later installments.

Overall, this issue of White Wolf is a vast improvement over
previous issues. I recommend taking a look at it, especially if
you're a Shadowrun gamer or a Superheroes gamer. If this is a
harbinger of things to come (this is the first issue after their
hiatus), White Wolf may well become the leading role-playing
magazine.

                                     Times Mirror Magazines, Inc.
                                                     New York, NY
                                                            $2.00
                                                                 
There are two things in this issue of Field & Stream that might
be of interest to the Shadowrun gamer. Bob Robb explains compound
bows -- how to choose them, what their parts are.

Federal Ammunition has included a wall poster that shows various
types of ammunition, and describes the basics of ballistics. It's
from a hunting point of view, of course, not a Shadowrunners',
but for those of us who aren't weapons experts, this poster is a
nice piece of work.

Incidentally, gamers who are interested in firearms and how they
work should go to the magazine section of their local
supermarket. Field & Stream talks about guns from a hunting
standpoint, but magazines such as Guns & Ammo discuss guns from
both a hunting and a defense standpoint. If you feel you need to
know a little bit more about how guns work in a live situation,
these magazines will help you.
