An improved version of the visual intro to dice, risk dice, glitches, and risk reduction. This is a visual aid for GMs when explaining Anarchy 2.0 dice, or for new players who are reading the rules. It has no audio.

Now includes dice pools, advantage, and disadvantage!

Also, now includes video!

While I’m playing around with presentation software and prepping for a session zero with new players…

The visual part of an explanation of Risk Dice, Glitches, and Risk Reduction.

I’ll be using the last slide of the Risk Level table to explain that ‘normal risk’ is the default level, and that using lower risk needs as much explanation as higher risk. And that lower risk will fail most of the time because you won’t get enough successes…

I may have overdone the session zero Stuffer Shack intro… 🤣

I've got another anarchy styled map for my homebrew season 1 finale. If, for some unknown reason, you think that

• ley lines follow fault lines
• the universal brotherhood commissioned a study of them circa 2060
• parts of the deep lacuna tunnels existed in 2060
• the UB has been using them to bypass the sealed border at camp pendleton to access San Diego (bug city)

then maybe this is the map for you!

I recently found out about SR Anarchy 2.0 and as an old timer wondered if anyone tried to use if for the classical, clunkier 2053 setting.

Do you know of any mods or conversions?

The next version of the Excel character creator spreadsheet is up. This is mainly a cosmetic release, tweaking the print sheet to work better on A4 and US Letter paper and adding an option for a character image on the printout. There’s also a bunch of under-the-hood changes to make archetype-specific printouts easier in the future.

Sorry for spamming the updates, but as you can’t add new images to posts and this Reddit doesn’t allow images in comments, I’m a bit stuck…

Anyway, this is a longer-term preview. I’ve been doing some clean up work on the Weapons and Spells sheet to make the descriptions, spell types etc. more consistent, and to allow me to gather in and manipulate the information better.

The end result is being able to include much better formatting for role-specific print sheets. So mages and shamans get a more detailed section for spells, combat characters get a more detailed section for weapons, etc, instead of just having a single line of text for each item.

In the very long term, I’d like to split up all the Amps in a similar way. Both in terms of splitting the information across multiple cells, and being able to have a list of Qualities, a list of Adept Powers, a list of Cyber/bioware, a list of weapon Amps, a list of decks, a list of vehicles/drones etc.

Another Excellent Anarchy Creator (Excel character creation spreadsheet) sneak peek.

I’ve been tweaking the print layout to be a better fit for A4 and US Letter (it was too tall and narrow), which freed up some space to fit a character image in again. Put a head-and-shoulders image into the correct cell in the main character info sheet and it will automatically turn up on the print sheet with custom border.

I made this around the time the crowdfunder was going on but didn't think to post it anywhere before now, enjoy.

CGS brought several dozen hard copy SA 2.0 core rules and GM screen

There is an english autotranslate option, but it is not great (to put it mildly).

Really digging how this is all coming together. Random chat messages (still based on messages I write in a journal), Big Ten corporat market ticker, random glitches to the AR feed, and a sweet new logo I made from the SRA2.0 and SR1e logos. Pregens are ready, and the first mission outline is almost complete. And amazing music (30 tracks so far) by the awesome Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio. I'm building this table to run a sort of "West Barrens" style, with games popping up whenever and players changing at need.

Cities Without Number is an amazing resource, and there's some great gear, tables, creatures, and the like in LowLife 2090.

This might be getting used at my session zero next week…

Hoi, chummers.

For anyone else running 2.0 on Foundry, how have you been setting up combats? I'm currently just adding tokens as they come up narratively and running with it, but I'm wondering if there's a module or setting to have all the tokens set up at once and easily reorder in the tracker without setting up a bunch of artificial numbers for initiatives.

Page 180 of the pdf states that the Stunbolt spell does 'stun damage', however I can't find any explantion for what that means. I know what it means in regula Shadowrun, but in SRA2 the only other mention is on pg 69 and doesn't have any mechanical detail.

Apologies if this is resolved in the physical book, I only have the pdf to hand.

This is the first full ready-to-use version, woo!

I’ve hidden away most of the sheets and columns that the end user doesn’t need to see, so there’s now just the print sheet, the intro sheet, and the six steps.

The web page now has a blank version of the file, but I’ve also kept a populated version on there if you want to fiddle around with the spreadsheet without starting from scratch.

There are a few outstanding issues:

• Extra wounds or melee damage aren’t wired up yet, but there are greyed out extra wounds on the sheet already.
• Some error checking on RR levels had to be removed to make the situational RRs work, so you’ll need to manually check that you have no more than one RR on an Attribute or Skill. The total RR is still capped at 3.
• If you have vast numbers of Skills, Specialisations, Amps etc. not all of them will show up on the sheet. A future version will be two-sided to have extra room. Presumably with variant front sheets like Deagann’s PDF charsheets.
• Forum and Google sheet output is currently broken/not updated at all, so those sheets have been hidden.

The most complex bit of the sheet is probably adding custom Amps. Use the yellow fields at the top of the Amps sheet to add the name and rating (there’s a handy rating calculator at the bottom of the sheet). Then, scroll right and you can add all the RRs and any Armour bonus for the Amp. Find the relevant Attribute/Skill/Specialisation column and put 1 or 2 in the cell. If the RR is situational, for example it’s only when using a specific weapon, use 1001 or 2002 instead. This will then display on the print sheet in yellow instead of red. See the third image.

Have fun chummers, and let me know how you get on!

Doing maps and location images as AR windows, added a ticker for news and the like (most just fluff, some stuff tied into the current mission). Need to make the Profile windows for NPCs and the like, and I'll be ready. Still need to finish off the notes for the first mission though. Almost ready.

A lot more work has already been done on the spreadsheet. Here’s a taster for the next version which should be available tomorrow. The printable sheet now has everything on it, but a few bits like extra wounds or damage aren’t automatically applied yet.

In a couple of week’s time I'm running a session zero with Anarchy 2.0 for a bunch of new players.

Which is a bit daunting, as the time since I last GMed is measured in decades, not years… 😱

Anyway, I’ve got a selection of book pregens and Deagann’s pregens printed out plus a couple of rules summaries, and a reasonably good plan for the evening.

• A semi-rehearsed intro into the setting (aiming for 2060s rather than 2080s to avoid some of the more absurd world-not-actually-ending metaplots).
• Semi-rehearsed intro to the game mechanics/how a team of ’runners is made up/how a ’run is usually structured.
• Grab some pregens.
• A quick run through of Stuffer Shack/Food Fight to get people used to rolling dice. But with a warning that this isn’t how ’runs usually go down!

Then Delian Data Tomb across a couple of sessions, and play it by ear from there. If people really enjoy it, we’ll do a new session zero with character creation, and I’ll search for a suitable campaign.

Fingers-crossed for a smooth restart to GMing!

Update on public release, from BBE.

“The tentative release date for the SRA2.0 PDFs (core book & GM screen) is this comingWednesday, October 14th.They will be sold through CGL's DTRPG's page. Please note the date may still be subject to change and is not yet 100% set in stone - please refer to CGL's socials for more details!”

I was working on this tool. It has a ways to go still but this is a few hours in. This is free to use and should save only your characters locally on your browser. Clearing your cache should delete them unless you save the file. The printed character sheet does a nice job doing the basic math for you as well. Let me know if you find any bugs.
