Plot summary

Reception

[edit]

Chris Baylis reviewed R-004 The Ruins of Chicago for Imagine magazine, and stated that "As the first 'city' module, R-004 gives players the chance to learn urban and guerilla warfare, but the emphasis is on the negotiations and interaction with the various city factions. The scenario gives good ground for an experienced team of proven ability, but will be a very hard task for novices."[2]

William A. Barton reviewed The Ruins of Chicago in The Space Gamer No. 72.[1] Barton commented that "for a team of veteran TMP players, The Ruins of Chicago can prove a most challenging and worthwhile roleplaying experience."[1]
