Our RPG group is a huge fan of narrative over rules and the Anarchy system suits that superbly. There was the initial shock to the system of trying to convert hundreds of pages worth of previous material into Shadow amps, but once we got into the game, it became about the characters and not about spending 40 minutes trying to work out a convoluted rule (6th edition...your editing sucks!). So to see another Anarchy book now available, i jumped at the chance. Great to see some of the old fave characters back in the book and it can then enable you to bring back some of those old source books too. Always love to see more shadow amps (Anarchy Chicago rocks too by the way) and i am surprised that there have not been more Anarchy books added to the mix. Really good to see old artwork back in the book as well, providing that retro feel (not sure if 2050 can be considered "retro" but hopefully you get what i mean)...trip down memory lane!
I agree would be nice to get this in hardback too (not just PDF).
Would love to hear more shout outs for Anarchy and see there is a following behind it, since moving into Anarchy our combat has been cinematic and smooth, our characters have been able to expand into emotional backgrounds - all possible with the older systems, but now...much much easier.
