As you know, this is a game in the alpha stage of its development, and this website is constantly changing as I add, revise and remove rules, explanations and examples.
Here you can find a list of major changes I have made to the game, as well as the ones I intend to make soon. I won’t list minor revisions that do not change the game.
are no longer tied to character skills. They are player actions, independent of the character.
no longer create new aspects. They only make existing aspects taggable.
In the Netrunning is no more. It is folded into a new skill called Net-smarts that acts more like an online version of Streetwise.
Stunts and Augmentations have been rolled into a single system, and are called now.
Conflict actions have changed. There are no longer any opposed rolls in a conflict. All actions are now rolled unopposed, and the only way to oppose them are through the new action that turns shifts into stress.
now involve a single roll by the initiator, not two rolls.
no longer have a “difficulty”. The base target is always zero, and the referee will only determine how much time a result of zero takes.
now only clear after the designated game time. They can be modified, though.
There are now fewer character aspects. Hope you haven’t printed a huge bunch of the old character sheets, because the is already here, as well as a special in the FATE tradition.
The new sheets also include room for the , Edgerunner’s rather unique answer to character advancement.
is now a mini-game on its own regard, played by players but without characters.
Being taken out in a conflict will have effects based on shifts from the attack roll.
Referees will get a limited amount of FATE points to spend.
I intend to rename some concepts in Edgerunner, in order to either increase language compatibility with Fate Core, or because I believe that the new name will better reflect the cyberpunk atmosphere of Edgerunner. Here’s a list of the old words and the new. You may still encounter either of them until the day I finish editing. Just remember that they mean the same thing.

Here is some of the stuff I have been considering for inclusion in the game. Some of it may or may not make sense, read at your own risk.
aka. Faction roles
Gang — Turf : Designated zone recovers deployed assets
Corporation — Subsidiaries : Can deploy other factions
Unit — Cohesion : Deployed assets cannot be interrupted
Tribe — Kinship : Can target all deployed assets at once
Syndicate — Connections : Free scene aspect
Agency — Jurisdiction : Always invoke aspect for free
Movement — Momentum : Can use excess shifts
The Motivation stress track represents the willingness of the faction members to keep pursuing the faction agenda. A faction taken out on the Motivation track may fall victim to internal squabbles, or just grind to a halt. Its people stop doing their best, or even desert or sell out the faction.
Characters > Motivation
Tech > Leverage
Factions > Prestige
You may want your character to have longer lasting aspects than what scene aspects can provide. If you want such a robust aspect but cannot wait until the next refresh to swap one of the character aspects, or you want something robust but not really almost permanent, then you can use one of the available consequence slots on your character to put this aspect in.
You may pick any available consequence slot, and narrate a scene about how your character gets the said aspect. Then write down the aspect in the slot of your choice.
This aspect is like any other consequence in most regards. It takes up the slot and persists for the same duration. The only difference is that you get a free invoke for it rather than an opponent.
If there is a techie involved in the process (your own character or a helping hand) then you can turn this aspect into an upgrade that persists for the same duration.
finally get the power they deserve.
, and have revised rules now.
Evil Hat Productions, the original authors of the FATE system have started a . I will try to make Edgerunner compatible with this new incarnation of Fate. Edgerunner will continue to have its unique rules but they will be renamed to use a common language with Fate Core.
