I've always been a big fan of the world Shadowrun presents, but never the systems.

Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 being a light(er) version of Shadowrun has me hopeful. I understand it took the flashback mechanic from Blades in the Dark. What are the other inspirations it wears on its sleeves?

How does it run at the table?

Does the system support longish campaigns (20+ sessions)? Or is it made for shorter campaigns, like most other lite games?*

What type of players are the most likely to enjoy Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0? What about GMs?

*I understand the english PDF came out 2 weeks ago, so most people who own it might not have had the time to properly play it, but anything helps!

I’ve been a bit hyper fixated on Avatar as of late, have loved both finished animated series and am currently enjoying the new one as well, and was looking into the TTRPG but haven’t found much on it opinion wise. Or at least I’ve not really seen any of the more well known TTRPG YouTubers play it at all yet.

If anyone has group YouTube session they’d personally recommend I look up the video of, I’d appreciate it. Even if opinions are mixed on it I’ll probably still get it just to have it for my TTRPG Collection I’m slowly building, but I was curious if anyone here has it and has had experience with it more than just a one shot or two.

I’d love to make and play a characters who’s a bit rigid in their views, but never expects people to change their own views and opinions to suit them. I’d love to have my character show the aspect of friendship where real friends respect your personal beliefs and don’t try to force you to betray yourself for them or others, I don’t think that aspect of friendship is seen in media enough.

Would this be possible without modifying the character creation process in the books? If modification is necessary do you think it’s something a DM would be fine with doing in the interest of drama and story?

Thank you all in advance for your advice and for if you read this! I appreciate it!

Hey! Long-time GM here. My friends and me are finishing up our latest call of Cthulhu campaign and are looking for something new. I’ve played many RPGs, but I’ve never come across a good war-simulator rpg.

And I don’t mean just massiv battles but rather an RPG that deals with things like supply-lines, infrastructure as attack targets, covert actions etc. These things don’t necessarily need to be the core-game mechanic but I am looking for something that gives a GM enough resources to run a complex war campaign.

The closest I could find was Twilight 2K. Anything else I might not know?

please no PbA games

I'm currently running Shadowdark but considering switching to a cyberpunk/sci-fi game. I prefer rules lite stuff, like Shadowdark, so I'm looking at CyberDark, Cy-borg, and Shadowun Anarchy 2.0. Anyone have experience with these or other rules-lite games in the genre? Especially those with experience in multiple of this type of game, which one is your favorite and why? Thanks

So, scheduling has been... hard recently. Our DnD group of 6 got "reduced" to 2-3 players, GM included (mostly due to everyone gradually graduated from college and is currently working/looking for a job). In a good day, we can still get the whole group to show up, but that usually took months in our weekly session schedule. Our current DM also said that it doesn't feel fun to play DnD with only 2 PCs. So i'm thinking of switching to a system designed for smaller group of friends (i'll be the GM). We're not picky on the setting/genre (fantasy, cyberpunk, sci-fi, etc). Any recommendation?

Hello! I love ttrpgs! I collect anything that appeals to my interests and I enjoy learning about new systems. This of course has caused a steady growth of ttrpg books that I haven't had the chance to use. I have been aggressively trying to chew through opportunities to try everything.

So the question is how do you do the same? What methods have you guys found to make it easier to sell a ttrpg to others? How do you come to the conclusion you've given a system a fair shake?

What draws you to continuing to increase your pile of shame? Should it even be called that? It's a term I hear used all the time in miniature painting but is it really appropriate for this hobby? Do you guys have a term for your collection?

I saw that Sword World, the best seller of japanese ttrpg is finaly getting translate in english ! And so as always I got curious about what other TTRPG are exclusive to japan and that will unlikely be translate and there is so much more than Sword World.

And I guess it's the same around the world, even if it's nowhere as popular as in the USA i like to think every country has their TTRPG playgroups, artists, writers and designers.

And that's what I am asking, please if you know any TTRPG from the country your from share it with us ! Even if there is no translation or even if it's really niche. I want to know about every ttrpg from every country !

For example I'm French, and a french ttrpg that I really like is Donjons et Chatons (Dungeons and Kittens) a really sweet and beautiful TTRPG about Kittens going on adventure. A TTRPG who got the chance to get translated in english ! I could also talk about Shaan Renaissance, an incredible universe that could be compared to James Cameron's Avatar but even bigger with greater ambitions, it's original, really interesting and I don't think it got translated but if you speak french you should take a look !

So please share what you know even if your are not from the country you know the rpg from, sharing it would still be interesting. We could do a world map with only ttrpg !

You may intepret that however you like. I just wanna try something new.

I'm looking for a detailed city setting full of secrets for paranormal investigation

I picked up this game in a humble bundle and it had piqued my curiosity. Curious to hear from people who have actually played it. What are the systems strengths? Where has it fallen short for you?
