Wikipedia's glossary of anarchism:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anarchism

Adhocracy: A form of organic organization according to which different parts of an organization are temporarily assembled to meet the requirements of that particular point in time.

Illegalism: A doctrine which rejects all moral obligations and governmental law in favour of the satisfaction of one's own desires. Pioneered by the Bonnot Gang in France and heavily influenced by the individualist anarchist philosophy of Max Stirner.

Netwar: Low-intensity social conflict employing a network structure for organisational control and communication.

Notes on other card names...

Memory Rift: Canon combo discipline from Guide to the Anarchs (p160-161). It's an Obfuscate-Presence ability, but we decided to add Dementation to turn it into a 3-way card.

Guardian Vigil: Canon Anarch 3-way ability from Guide to the Anarchs and Anarchs Unbound.

Make the Misere: Cajun slang meaning "cause trouble".

Hello all - I've just published my review of the second half of the Anarchs Unbound cards along with a few thoughts on the set as a whole. Hope you enjoy! Let me know if I've missed some cool combo or use for a card!

Anarchs Unbound Library Review, Part II

Whoops! Sometimes my fingers go faster than my brain. Consider it done.

I dig the reviews, few add ons:
Carfax Abby is the second best hunting ground in the game for a deck with several mid cap vamps, first being Papilion, which can be used with Abby if you run Barons. Both means 3 vamps get blood. Since the Owain anarch decks are probably going to regain popularity (you used to see them once or twice a year awhile ago) blood gain for anarch decks will be easy to come by. Seems solid.
Hackerspace theme feels like "we are siphoning funds and resources via Internet" and the one guy is soldering something. Its been awhile since IT stuff needed soldering or special components made via making it (commodore 64 game cloning setups to get around copyrighted stuff comes to mind from the 80s) but it fits anarch ideals. And is non unique, as mentioned.

Protection racket makes sense to me. Anarch theme is keeping cam off the backs of the masses. Stopping princes, primogen, etc from doing things makes more sense. And since anarch has the punk rock high school kid ideal of "f#$%k the establishment" anything they see related to the oppressors machinations needs stopped, the more proof the more it needs stopped.

I strongly agree with your view on theme and art. Old vtes had a very mid 90s alt/punk/metal feel. Fit well. Society has migrated from this, so anarch are where the vibe fits best, along with brujah and some antitribbu. Also daughters, but you get the idea. I like there being a reason for it being a "thing" again.

Sorry that this article is late - I spent the weekend at a local gaming convention demoing the game, and passing out business cards to the many people who dropped by to reminisce about the good old days of Jyhad. Don't know yet if anything will come of it, but maybe one or two new embraces will stick around. In the meantime, enjoy my latest article about the Nosferatu Antitribu!
