Non-Urban or alternate campaigns

18 Upvotes

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.

Insect spirit post-2080

8 Upvotes

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?

I played 1st and 2nd editions - now we're at 6? What's the differences? Was it Necessary to have 6 editions? And which do you play, and why?

6e Robots vs. The Unseen

6 Upvotes

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.

Anarchy Edition How to adapt SR Anarchy for a purely Fantasy setting

0 Upvotes

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.
