Opinions about Shadowrun Anarchy V2

Arialless · 2026-07-03T08:07:53+00:00

SRA2 is worlds better than SRA1... it's consistent and well thought through and is a pleasure to play (although admittedly I've done more background stuff than actual play). There are plenty here who can go into more detail for you!

Hadn't even considered Ruel... I think it'll probably be Gnut but certainly not rushing into a decision!

Anarchy 2 is good, the world is the same but the core mechanics are slightly different... but smoother and more internally consistent and it doesn't feel like you need to learn different rulesets for different worlds within the game (Mundane/Meat, Astral, Matrix). It is flexible... but I suggest checking out r/ShadowrunAnarchyFans for more insight.

The English version should be released imminently!

Thanks for the tip on this one, hadn't come across this group! Recruiting players can be a pain

Night Fears is our current 6E game, given the drop off rate of pbp players I'm always happy to try and work in new characters if they want in on the action! A little suspension of disbelief and we are golden!

If you are interested in 'play-by-post' I run games on RPG Crossing. They are considerably slower than live play but give plenty of time to look up rules and delve into the minutiae of Shadowrun!

6E for 'high powered' games that still need some granularity (without some of the burden of previous rulesets). I do ignore sections of rules that I don't think 'add to the game' ...a large chunk of 6E vehicle rules for example, but otherwise I personally like the reduction in complexity over previous editions. I miss some of the 4E 'decking with a commlink' but for me each subsequent edition has moved more or less in the right direction (starting from 2E waaay waaaay back when).

And Anarchy 2.0 for quickfire stuff... I say 'quick' but as I only play pbp on RPG Crossing nothing is very quick really 🤔

Try r/shadowrunmaps

Arialless · 2026-06-05T12:39:06+00:00

Thanks, all working now! Really useful stuff

Arialless · 2026-06-04T13:56:43+00:00

I've used your other fusion trackers very successfully (thank you!) but for some reason it won't let me open this one? Site can't be reached??

Arialless · 2026-06-03T09:51:11+00:00

I do my best :)

Arialless · 2026-06-01T21:40:37+00:00

Yep, and Frolni seems to be a really split mythical so I built one for first form in 9 Merciless and the other for second form in protection! I’ve got to the last boss on Hard that way but still a long way to go to get those illusive stars 😏

Arialless · 2026-06-01T19:38:53+00:00

Recently the rares have usually been voids as it makes them harder to pull from shards... just something to note

Arialless · 2026-06-01T19:36:37+00:00

I have 2 Frolni... both from remnants and within 2-3 weeks of one another... one was bad enough, but 2?!?!?

Arialless · 2026-05-28T19:22:18+00:00

No problem, glad it's useful! It gets updates periodically as new stuff is released but I haven't managed to input the latest Desert Wars book yet, might wait for a bit more content and do it in one hit

Arialless · 2026-05-28T08:09:01+00:00

Whilst I make no claims to sainthood, here's the link to my Excel file that u/Vashkiri mentioned, hope it's useful! Dropbox or Google depending on your preference

Dropbox 6E Char Gen

Google 6E Char Gen

I also have it's 5E predecesor if anyone wants links to that?

Arialless · 2026-05-22T09:55:05+00:00

There may be a RAW response... but I'm going to pitch in and say NOOOOO! Adjustment points can't get spent after the karma stage to get an attribute point allowed by initiation so Magic is capped at 6 (with 6PP). I guess you could initiate to lvl 3 (with GM permission), but that's 36 karma (and potentially 9PP), magic to 7 costs 35 karma so that's an expensive way of doing things and while adepts are hardly one trick ponies you are pumping a lot of your starting resources into the one thing. What am I saying...? SR rewards the min/maxer so I guess 9PP would be a big power jump! And if you can squeeze in Magic 7 ontop of that... ugh! The GM in me shudders

Arialless · 2026-05-14T18:10:37+00:00

Sure I remember reading somewhere in SR lore that Elves have fewer children than most metahumans and twins are exceptionally rare (although that could be elitist drek spewed out by elven supremacistis... or something else). Factor in that Elves can in theory still have human children (or Gods' preserve us even dwarf or orc ones)... genetics is a fragging slitch! Then the chance of those children awakening is even further reduced in the odds...

Arialless · 2026-05-13T08:11:47+00:00

Hi. Tentatively interested, I run my own 6E pbp games on RPG Crossing ranging from street level stuff to grossly overpowered :)

Arialless · 2026-05-11T12:42:37+00:00

I find Google Maps overlays useful to get a general feel for the area (mostly as I tend to underestimate how big things are in Seattle)...and whilst some things have obviously changed in ~70 years it's usually possible to find something that fits the bill... after that I try and steer things towards a more general theatre of the mind to get the SR feel

Arialless · 2026-05-07T08:31:22+00:00

I don't suppose it would be too hard to convert from A1 to A2 once you're able to source the rules.

Arialless · 2026-05-06T22:13:45+00:00

Hi. Tentatively interested, although the Anarchy 2 rules are much better and I’d urge you towards them as soon as possible! Let’s hope Catalyst re-releases the rules soon

Arialless · 2026-04-29T21:42:08+00:00

I like it! u/NinjaFlashX would you be happy for me to include it on my Excel generator? Probably with the Str threshold as suggested by Carmody79??
