SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Where should Shadowrun go next ?

There is one that is ONLY built for Shadowrun and nothing else, which I find hilarious and so appropriate.
It's a pretty slick setup.

Think it's free to use.  Maybe you guys can set a game up and have some fun during Covid.

That's pretty cool. Hadn't heard of it.
But it is pretty much what I was talking about, a tool that helps you organize and just run stuff faster than trying to get a big old block of assorted paper sheets in some order and drawing initiative phases on post-its ;)

One of my local FLGS seems to have reopened and I saw a copy of Shadowrun Anarchy on the shelf.  For those who have played how is it?  It's been mentioned a few times and I know it is more storygamey (not an issue for me) but I do want to know what the crunch is like.  A slimmed down version of SR would be cool (instead of just using Dresden Files Fate or something else - Rifts/FFG Star Wars).

I've heard it's cool as it retains some traits of SR (like dice pools) in a streamlined format. But it's apparently half-baked in that a lot of things are missing (there is no Nuyen, for eg., payment for runs is done in Karma.. ouch). So people usually play it heavily house-ruled. There's even a site with lots of tweaks and resources that some players say is mandatory, called "Surprise Threat":

I already play a light version of Shadowrun that runs fine for us, so I'm passing Anarchy for now. But if a 2nd edition comes out fixing current issues, Im totally getting it.

Thanks for the link!  I'm more likely to play the others since I own them all already or stick with 3e but I'm curious enough to read that site.
