Props to Vinicius Lessa and Matthew Terry for doing some slick work with Shadowrun hacks for The Sprawl. I love what you guys have done…Matthew with your elegant add-on, and Vinicius with your AW-style playbooks.
I’d love to hear what more you guys have planned as we wait for Touched, which I think will be different enough as to leave plenty of room for your works.
I’ve been setting up a play-by-post game using The Sixth World, a Dungeon World hack, but I would so much rather use The Sprawl. You guys have made that much easier. THANK YOU!
Hey I’m glad you like it! I have a revised version sitting in my drive but I haven’t had my editor go over it and incorporate it into the game yet.
It mostly deals with some metatyoe moves and puts spellcasting on a more even footing with mix it up.
I might add technos if I get inspires.
Their was an alpha version of Touched released if you search the history. I created a mod for myself for Shadowrun to feel more SR like, because it didnt quite feel like it
(It uses alot of Touched Material, with a number of mods for me that felt more shadowrun.)

Oh man, Sixth World was one of the first proper roleplaying games I ever played. I’d love to see what an updated version would look like now that The Sprawl is a thing.

My hack is there. Enjoy.

Matthew Terry Cheers!
Riley Crowder Thanks. I ran the Prime setting of Touched at BigBadCon in October. All three of the new playbooks (Adept, Mage, and Thrall) were represented at the table, and it was a blast.
Riley Crowder Oh, also, I thought I had already seen your A Touch of Shadows, but I was mistaken. I’ll check it out!
Matthew Terry It was nice to see that you had some good interaction on the Shadowrun subreddit. My favorite was: “Yo, mods. This should be added to the side bar! Do iiiit.”

Eric Ullman – I hope you enjoy it. I tried to cleave super close to the existing feel of Sprawl with only minimal changes. The greatest joy of PbtA is that it is so easy to make permutations from.
One thing I will say for the Sixth World (Dungeon World hack) is that its Street Doc hits the flavor of Shadowrun much better than a medic-focused Tech in The Sprawl. I need to make one up that fits The Sprawl before I ask my players to switch over.
The Street Doc playbook from Sixth World has some fun bits:
Megalexicosis: when you spout a stream of medical technobabble to confuse, intimidate, convince, or distract someone, you may roll+Craft instead of +Presence.
