| Shannon Appelcline noted that in the early 1990s, "''Shadowrun'' was supported by over a dozen supplements each year—some of which were quite well-received, such as ''Seattle Sourcebook'' (1990), one of the first extensive RPG descriptions of a modern city, and Nigel Findley's adventure, ''The Universal Brotherhood'' (1990)."<ref name="designers80s">{{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '80s|publisher=[[Evil Hat Productions]]|year=2014|isbn=978-1-61317-081-6}}</ref>{{rp|74}}

| == Reception ==
| |
| In the November 1992 edition of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' (Issue #187), [[Allen Varney]] thought that the material in this book "expands spectacularly on the skimpy material included in the [original] ''Shadowrun'' rulebook." He concluded "[The book describes its] city in detail unprecedented outside of fantasy RPGs."<ref name="dragon187">{{cite journal|last=Varney|first=Allen|authorlink=Allen Varney|date=November 1992|title=Roleplaying Reviews|journal=[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]|publisher=[[TSR (company)|TSR, Inc.]]|issue=187|pages=91}}</ref>
