''Sufficiently Advanced'' is a tabletop roleplaying game that reaches for the outermost limits of what we think is achievable. Grounded in hard science, but speculating incredible advances, ''SA'' looks at a future in which nanotechnology, computing, medicine, and other fields have advanced to the limit of our current understanding — and just a bit beyond. It’s a look at what these technologies might do to the world and what societies might form around them. It is a game about responsibility and the drive for a better future. It is a game fundamentally about humanity, as well as some of its descendants.

Sufficiently Advanced is a tabletop roleplaying game that reaches for the outermost limits of what we think is achievable. Grounded in hard science, but speculating incredible advances, Sufficiently Advanced (or S.A. for short) looks at a future in which nanotechnology, computing, medicine, and other fields have advanced to the limit of our current understanding — and just a bit beyond. It’s a look at what these technologies might do to the world and what societies might form around them. It is a game about responsibility and the drive for a better future. It is a game fundamentally about humanity, as well as some of its descendants.
Most importantly, SA is a game of exploration and political machination set in a universe where everyone has nearly godlike capabilities at their disposal — and the world wasn’t destroyed by it.
SA is about technology as far beyond what we have now as we are beyond the cavemen. It's about a world truly changed by this technology, not merely today's world enhanced. It's about a cultural milieu created by the dregs and lunatic fringe of the 21st century. It's about the line between freedom and chaos. It's about trusting that someone who knows and changes the future is keeping a place for you in it. SA is the story of humanity in all its myriad forms, and the thousand things it might become.
So far, they have released the following:
* Sufficiently Advanced 1st Edition
* Travelogue: For the 1st Edition, comes with new civilizations, societies, cargo cult ideas, among others.
* Sufficiently Advanced 2nd Edition
* Chronotech: For 2nd Edition, for all the time related and sci-fi style prophecies technology.

Added some magic- and comics-related things
Added DiffLines:
* ClarkesThirdLaw: It's literally the name of the game.
Added DiffLines:
* HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: Seems that way from the outside. In actuality, everyone just has a BrainComputerInterface.
Added DiffLines:
* MagicalGesture: If you don't have a BrainComputerInterface, you use special gestures and words to activate your more dangerous technology (so that you don't trigger it by accident). Wave your hands, chant some words, and voila - lightning bolt!
Added DiffLines:
* MugglesDoItBetter: The game tries to balance high-stat characters and low-stat characters by giving the players of low-stat characters more ability to warp the plot.
Added DiffLines:
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Oh my goodness gracious yes.
Added DiffLines:
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: Not exactly, but they might get you to stop, or run, or relax, via a Metatech technique called the Voice of Peace. If you research someone enough you can pull an IKnowYourTrueName and get better hooks into them.

* DeflectorShields: Averted. Force fields are listed as an "impossible technology."

Added DiffLines:
* InvisibilityCloak: Not quite played straight or averted - yes, you can make invisibility devices, but they're limited in the frequencies of light they can hide... and because so many people can see outside the usual "visible" spectrum, it might just make you stand out worse.
* MatterReplicator: Yup. Used especially by the Association of Eternal Life (a.k.a. the Replicants), who are more than happy to replicate themselves.
* TheMetaverse: Every world has an Infosphere, so named because it's as all-pervasive as the atmosphere. Nearly everyone has continuous access to it.
* Nanomachines: I mean, one of the basic stats in the game is Nanotech...
* OrganicTechnology: ...and another one of them is Biotech.
* OurWormholesAreDifferent: Different settings for the 2nd edition have different rules for how wormholes work.
* ReactionlessDrive: Averted.
* SufficientlyAdvancedBambooTechnology: Not really, but it can look however you want, so groups like the Tao of History (a historical recreation society) have ancient-looking things that function just as well as everyone else's futuristic stuff.
* Teleportation: Mostly averted. You can wormhole from place to place (at phenomenal cost in energy), but the only way to "teleport" short of that is to (destructively) read yourself into a replicator in one place and print yourself out in another.

Added several timey-wimey things
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Some low-level Chronotech works this way, providing unclear prophecies in the user's dreams.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Used to explain a skill bonus from Chronotech-based expertise: you're basically repeating an action until you get it right, then letting things move forward.

!!This transhumanist sci-fi tabletop RPG provides examples of:
* BrainComputerInterface: The Mesh works like this and is necessary for anything Cognitech 3 and above.
* TranshumanAliens: Due to transhumanist technologies and morphological freedom, plenty of civilizations resulted in alien forms, particularly with the Stardwelling Armada.
* TranshumansInSpace: Obvious with the Stardwelling Armada but every civilization are usually transhuman at some level, except for Cargo Cultists and Old Worlders.
