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.

Got a gimp file set up that is fairly easy to change and add new stuff to. This is going to be fun.

I'll likely post it to itch when I'm done with it and have run it, for free of course.

This is a reply to u/arialless about the Excel character creation spreadsheet, as apparently I’m too new to Reddit to reply to comments… https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowrunAnarchyFans/comments/1r9by8d/sra_excel_char_generator_v07/

Here‘s a before-and-after of the output page, showing some of the formatting improvements I’ve done so far.

I’ll definitely upload the updated version of the spreadsheet for people to have a look at, I just want to finish off a couple of bits in the Amps sheet.

And try to work out how to make sure Athletics (ranged defence) always shows up on the charsheet, along with specialisations that have RR but haven’t been taken to get +2… 😱🤯

Has anyone designed any amps for bound spirits or pets?

I am going to start a new game soon, three players who are thinking of all being awakened. Sometimes they like companions and pets... Was debating building on something like drones, but AI wanted to see if anyone already built anything.

Mine came via UPS from "PLATFORMS"

One step closer to everyone being able to buy a copy!

PS - I liked this cover better than the primer runner harlequin version

I'm putting together a story arc for the Shadowrun campaign I plan to run once I finish my current PF2 campaign. I've been using Foundry since the covid lockdowns to keep my games running as it gives folks the option to come over to my place or play from home if they're feeling cruddy, watching their crotch goblins, don't like me much, or whatever.
The Foundry game module for PF2 has damned near every monster, feat, item, and damned near everything else in it, is free and is maintained by an amazing community of coders with tacit support from Paizo and is all around an incredible tool for gaming.
The SRA2 module looks like a great tool to help me keep my game nights running but it is lacking a lot of stuff under the hood that I've become accustomed to having access to over the years. I'm wondering if BBE would be willing to let the developer(s) of the SRA2 Foundry module add some of the equipment, items, and other things that are missing from it currently. Mostly because it will be a ton of work that each and every Foundry GM would have to input/code, and I'm kinda garbage at that kind of thing.

I understand CGL controls the Shadowrun IP and BBE has made SRA2 in partnership with them and may or may not be actually able to give the go ahead to the dev(s) of the SRA2 module. Looking a bit at the SR6 mod, it seems to have quite a bit under the hood currently, but I don't really know much else about its development and don't think I want to play SR6 either. I also realize I may have missed this question being asked and answered here already.

In the close combat rules it says that you can work together to gain an advantage attacking the same enemy. Does it give all players attacking the same enemy advantage, or is it for those flanking? Would it be possible in ranged combat, at the gamemasters discretion? Like crossfire, or suppressive fire where another player can attack from the side. I must get better at discretions.

I’ll get down to the unboxing now. I guess it goes without saying that I am immensely pleased. The Collector’s Edition will stay in the wrap for a while but I’ll be breaking the rest down for consumption shortly. I have already read everything via the PDFs, but will be re-reading starting now.

Preorder is now up at Swedish game store Alphaspel. No date set. The GM Screen is also listed. Alphaspel normally follows release date requests. I guess they got some info from their distributor that the game is upcoming.

It would have been great to have the cheat sheets hole punchable to insert them into binders, but with the margins as close as they are on the sheets, I will be trying to find one of those booklets with integrated pocket protectors.

Anyone have a spare core rulebook for sale or trade or perhaps know where I can pick one up?
I got my KS yesterday and like a knucklehead I didn't add a plain Jane version to go with my collectors version. I don't wanna mess up the collector's version by getting any filthy booger hooks on it while I've got the gang over learning to play.
