Title: So, How is Anarchy?
Post by: Artemis Entreri on <10-02-16/1944:54>

Hi!

My gaming group can be very interested in Anarchy... Any in depth hints about it? How did they handled the system? Is it fully compatible with the basi rulebook?

Thanks!
 :)

Hi! Thanks!

I read that and another review and I don't know if it's for me. :) I like narrative approaches but the "all of us can be gm" is indie in a bad way to my taste...

It can sound a bit dumb, but I think Shadowrun's 5th ed inner complexity is just a part of the deal. It's the price to pay to get the awesome/fascinating game it is.

IMHO

I like what I've read so far, but I reserve judgment until I've actually played it :)

Narrative play isn't for everyone.

But it's its a good attempt to give those that like narrative play a taste of shadowrun.

And lets be honest, Shadowrun is a very complex game that frightens away some players due to its complexity. anarchy could be a good stepping stone to get them introduced to Shadowrun.

Shadowrun Anarchy doesn't have to be Narrative play. It contains rules to support non narrative play.

Yeah, I tried this format recently in a game using the same system and I had no fun whatsoever.  It was like playing Mad Libs the RPG.  Blech.

I'd have to see how that works before I commit funds to this.  That's my two cents anyway.
