I like how simple it looks. It even looks like without even knowing all the rules that I can understand what each part of the charsheet is doing.

I really like the reduced attributes. But it's odd that there are 2 physical and 3 mental attributes. I'd have honestly tossed charisma in to will power, or visa versa. They're both kind of a representation of someone's personality, so I think it makes sense to just make them one stat.

It's still a Stat+Skill kind of system so different Archetypes use the different stats.  Will for magic, Logic for Hacking and probably technomancering, Agility for shooting, Str for stabbing, Charisma for Socializing.  If you smush Charisma and Willpower together everyone becomes a Face/Mage.

Looks like the Anarchy rules are partly  based on the ones for Cosmic Patrol.

Yup. Built on the Cue system from Cosmic Patrol and Valiant.

Book looks pretty.

I'm extremely excited about this. I am 100% going to switch to Anarchy and never look back. Looks like a lot of the old books will still come in handy too. This is pretty much my dream come true. Thanks to everyone that had a hand in making this.

looks good and cant wait to see it.

So is the physical book coming out first or should we expect the pdf first?

Please let them both come out at the same time ^_^ Also, it would be amazing if the rules section of the book did not require any future errata.

There's a physical version at GenCon, so the physical version came first ^^

[Shadowjack]

Touche. Can't argue that

There's a physical version at GenCon, so the physical version came first ^^

Except the GenCon run tends to be a VERY limited pre-run and does not reflect when the actual main physical run will turn up for the people who could not attend..

If you recall Origins in 2013, they had the 5th ed books in softcover being offered for that event, but for the rest of us it was the PDF that came out first in July while the actual hardcover came out a bit afterward in September.

Will Anarchy use a dedicated GM or will it have a rotating 'narrator' like cosmic patrol?

I thought I saw/read somewhere that the print version of Anarchy at GenCon was a preview. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if here were some content changes in the final version.

[odd]

Yeah, the GenCon version wasn't even Alpha/Beta just prototype.  I was surprised at how nice it looked though.  Also at the podcaster thing Opti and Rusty said that there are still going to be more changes before the final.

[DarkSpade]

I really wouldn't call this an early release.  The word "prototype" isn't there as a sub title, it's a warning.  It's not the final release.  Kind of like how they had the beta version of CBT's strat ops book.  I haven't gotten to do more than skim my copy, but a friend read his cover to cover while at the con.  From what he told (and sometimes showed) me as he read, the gencon book is far from a final release and may even be more of an alpha than a beta release.   There is a lot of potential in there though and I hope catalyst pays close attention to the feedback I'm sure they're going to start receiving over the coming weeks.

Update: Here is a link showing quite a few characters. https://imgur.com/a/fqOvk

I hope the book includes a conversion guide for equipment and metatypes (and characters if possible.)  I'm willing to give it a chance so long as I don't have to buy a whole new line of resource books to support it. 

Have they given any idea when they will be ready to send this off to the printers?
