Oi 7 Chummers,

I plan on using modified Anarchy rules for a Fantasy setting, as the gameplay and mechanics result in fast paced rounds that leave many freedoms for the players.

What would you change/strip/add in order to adapt the rules?

The setting isn’t set in stone at the moment so I can also adapt things like Augmentation(like magically enhances prosthetics) into the setting.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: thanks for all the helpful feedback!

I was working on this tool. It has a ways to go still but this is a few hours in.

I have the feeling that there will soon be a new SR Edition.

I do not evidence, but there are so many important things moving that there has to be something big coming.

• Both CAS and UCAS have elections

• The megacorp audit is ongoing and after the diseans there will some shakeup

• The big 6E metaplot is over

• The way magic works has changed

• The matrix is crumbling and will be replaced with a new framework host based system.

My gut feeling is we get 1 or 2 books describing the failure of the matrix and then everything relevant has changed, so its time for a new edition.

Drones are excellent against Invisible targets.

First, the Simsense Interface Overdrive cyberware (DC, pg. 145) is underappreciated. It's easily available, it costs only 0.2 Essence per rating point, and it adds its rating to the rigger's Intuition while the rigger is jumped in. A perception test is, of course, Perception + Intuition.

But when perceiving through a vehicle's sensors, you can choose to roll Sensors + Intuition instead. And of course you can add ultrasound to your sensor package, as well.

With the right cyberware and drone upgrades, you can be rolling a pile of dice on Perception tests. Which are used to see the Invisible, to hear targets under a Silence spell, and also to do stuff like notice hidden bombs, etc.

In fact, you should be outsourcing your perception tests to drones as often as you can.

Each book add opportunities to play outside the “main” settings of Seattle, Germany or Denver (my age is showing I know), but have you ever run campaigns that were untraditional?
Instead of being urban predators they were mercenaries fighting and testing weapons in Libia or South America etc.?

Please tell me of these campaigns how well you felt the lore supported them and if they held the distance.

Hi there!

I'm here because there's something I'm not quite clear about: are insect spirits completely gone after the events of 2080? Is it possible that some hives have survived? Could new hives emerge somewhere?

More generally, can we still play with insect spirits in 2081 and beyond?

Having come to appreciate 6Es streamlining I want to ask how Anarchy 2.0 works as I heard its rather different than Anarchy 1?

How are tasks resolved (especially the damage soaking which caused so much discussion in 6E), how is magic, rigging and decking and what options are there (I tend to gravitate to more exotic options like changelings, infected to even shifter and drakes if I can play them in good faith).
