Languages
Friday, April 02, 2021 in New
Added some houserules and setting information for languages and multi-lingual characters.
The goal is try and keep some flavour of a multi-linguistic, multi-cultural urban sprawl, and encourage face characters to distinguish themsleves through language skills, while keeping the skill point cost to do so under control.

Augmentations
Sunday, March 21, 2021 in New
- Moved all cyberware/bioware/adept powers under a new Augmentations section.

- Added the following pieces of bioware:
- Adrenaline pump
- Pain dampeners
- Synaptic boosters
- Bone density
- Overclocked / hyperactive platelets
- Buffed/clarified smartlinks.

Updates – 13 Mar
Saturday, March 13, 2021 in New
- Add some details about criminal SINs to SINs
- Moved a lot of stuff around on the site; there should now be a three-way clean separation between Sprawlrunners rules, Shadowrun rules, and Setting information that is not system-specific
- Moved Matrix setting info to setting/ section; now the Sprawlrunners section only has rules
- Moved this What’s New? page to be a top-level site page
- Moved all my old Shadowrun Matrix stuff to the archive section, as it’s no longer canon in our campaign and not under development any more
