Not that gear does anything in Shadowrun: Anarchy. If I were writing SR:A, that’s the first thing on the list to players.

But there’s a line about “If you come up with another creative use for Plot Points, go for it! Plot Points are meant to change the game in fun and interesting ways, so don’t be afraid to use your imagination.” Doing a Preparedness action or Flashback to establish that yes, I was a professional criminal, and yes, of course I would have that communications scrambler device that weren’t on my character sheet seems like a no-brainer to directly include in the rules. Nothing that brings that cutaway to the planning phase like we see in so many heist movies and television shows. Nothing at all about have a piece of gear you need be available, within reason or reveal that you’ve had some information about the situation.

That section gives the following options for spending them: changing the order of Narration, taking two movement actions, heal, take a blow that was intended for someone else, make a free attack, make someone’s stuff malfunction, have a surprise threat appear (why a player would choose this for no benefit is beyond me), or add a special die that might make things awesome. There is a way to bring things of importance into the game by spending Plot Points, spending them to say “Oh, but I have this grappling line gun in my car’s trunk.” But I’m inferring that from the section on Plot Points. Anything not covered in the weapons, armor, or shadow amps, is simply not there. Your SR:A character has a few lines of gear: a toolkit, a commlink, a motorcycle, some stim patches. At least this is what it looks like, especially when pinning down elements about your character on a character sheet as notes to riff off during the improvisational-heavy Narratives. Conversely, if it’s not on the character sheet, it’s not there. If it’s on the character sheet you’ve got it. In the last post, I wrote “See, in Shadowrun: Anarchy, you’ve got stuff. Here, I’m going to directly compare how the two systems handle certain tropes and note where I’m having difficulties.Īrtwork from the recent Shadowrun: Hong Kong computer game.
While I tried to keep each post focused on each game system, a bit about Shadowrun: Anarchy seeped into the last post, comparing gear and how one gets it during the game. I wrote 1300 words on Shadowrun: Anarchy on Thursday and a few more than that on The Sprawl on Friday.
Now there are two that are vying for my attention to be my next Shadowrun game: The Sprawl and Shadowrun: Anarchy. “Can I play Shadowrun in it,” is the question I see asked when a new roleplaying game comes out.
