Useful for Cyberpunk, D&D or a creative writing

Hey Choombas, have I got a recommendation for you. Some of the best and brightest minds (or at least most bloody minded) writers and referees for cyberpunk games solve your problems, tell you how to write or run a great game in the dark, dark world of 2020? This is a product of it's time that holds up very, very well even if the carbon plague they predicted way back in the 1980s didn't quite match up with how 2020 really went.

Listen up, you primitive screwheads! is a straightforward collection of essays that is just as applicable to your average referee for cyberpunk as it is the players they try to wrangle. The book is a combination of advice, creative writing instructions, general tips, tricks and rules. If you ever wanted to write or run something in Cyberpunk 2020, CP:Red, Shadowrun or a system of your choice with a dark future vibe this will give you tools galore. It might even make you a better writer for the genre.

The quality of narration is the first thing to really note. I have never enjoyed somebody ready stats or charts before and it should be called out for the way in which Colby Elliot does it. He even cuts to sidebars in a natural and not jarring way. Each section has a good break and each chapter covers a certain subject or theme. The layout of audiobook chapters means you can hop to whatever theme you want maybe to prep for a session or another to deal with a problem player.

The whole book can be listened to beginning to end and with the exception of the forward and the appendix it is a good listen. I can't recommend it enough for prospective Fixers and street toughs, Referees or players. My only concern is the low visibility for such a delightful, niche-sounding book to reach a wider audience.
