Sufficiently Advanced is a transhuman roleplaying game of the far future. 

Humanity has been reconstructed by time and technology. Wield incredible technological enhancements and thousands of years of expertise, or the ability to mold the story of the game. Play a digital intelligence with remote-controlled robot drones, a diplomatic team that shares a group-mind, a soldier infused with nanotechnology, or even a living starship. Play an Old-Worlder witnessing our fantastic universe for the first time, or a Masquerader taking on different identities each day.

This second edition runs on an entirely new diceless system. What consequences you are willing to accept in order to win? Or, when you are outmatched, can your failure help your team succeed? Use Plots and Projects to change the world, and force Complications on your characters now to warp the plot in their favor later on.

Discover five different futures: To The Stars, where you form a first-contact team reconnecting with the lost seeds of humanity. The Divide, full of espionage and intrigue, where trust is hard to find and the sides are ever shifting. The Powder Keg, a universe tumbling into a war that may mean the end of everything. Sublight, where secret societies champion their causes by transmitting their operatives across the stars. The Patent Office, where your team of Inspectors seeks to protect humanity from its own worst excesses.

The future is bright, but not without danger. Come explore it with us.

Sufficiently Advanced now has a supplement: Chronotech! Delve into time travel and information loops in a pay-what-you-want supplement for both players and GMs.

1. This is minor, but would it be possible to reupload the Group Sheet with “Heteodoxy” changed to match the book’s spelling “Heterodoxy” (on page 312)?

(Unless it's being deliberately heterodox.

wink)

(Grumble grumble, the site seems to have eaten the rest of my message. Presumably as a punishment for using a wink emoji.)

I may retype the full message later, but the upshot was: compare the text on the Group Sheet to the corresponding text on p312; and test the Group Sheet download workflow on p313.

Thank you! Sorry it took so long for me to get to this; I couldn't actually find the original file and ended up having to track down a copy of Acrobat to edit the PDF. You should be able to get a corrected version now.

Does this have an alien generator

No, sorry. Alien life is not a focus for the game - there are four types described in the corebook, and none of them are playable. (In fact, speaking as the game designer, all four of them are intentionally unplayable.)

The game's support page has links to a few good options. They'll generate everything from a quick description of a planet to scientific details for a whole solar system. Here's the link: http://suffadv.wikidot.com/planetgen

does the pdf only consist of the character sheet, group sheet and the Screen Ready? Is there no PDF of the core second edition out yet?

"Screen Ready" is the file you want. (It's ready for viewing on your screen, as opposed to "Print Ready" which would be the one I used for print-on-demand.)

How on earth does a PWYW POD work? Wouldn't there be a minimum price for Lightning Source to print the thing at all?

There is indeed a minimum price, but it doesn't show up until you enter an amount into the box. For the softcover the current printing costs are $9.39, and for the hardcover it's $14.56. Anything you pay above the minimum (and shipping) is divided between DriveThruRPG/RPGNow and me via our usual percentage split.

So, based on the most recent update, the regular art version isn't coming out? I bought the POD anyway.

The artist I originally had in mind, who had created a couple of nice pieces for me when I originally posted this version, became unavailable a few months later. I'm still hoping to create a full-art version some day, but it will require finding a new artist.

Tried to buy this item, but it isn't added to Cart when selected!?

Won't sell too many that way.

Sounds like a bug!

I wasn't able to find anything about this in the Troubleshooting or FAQ pages, so I will report this to DriveThruRPG right away. I encourage you to do so as well, using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page.

I believe the problem is that you can enter the price for the softcover book for the hardcover, but it really wants the hardcover price.

Update on 1/1/15: Fixed several typos, altered several examples to match with the rules as written, and improved the rules for Competence Lenses (page 112). This is likely to be the version used for the POD version, coming later this month.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
