but can't work out how, so it's time for a silly question!
I know that there are DR things other than DR1 and DR2 are on the DR Wikia page... but a)Which order are AE, Kirigiri and IF plus the other two [And whatever others I've missed]? b)How can I access them and c)Where can I read the DR2 manga?

This is what I've gathered but if someone sees that I'm wrong, well, feel free to scream YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG! while shooting the words quite literally out of the air.
Also, spoilers for main series games - I'll try to be vague with the not-main series stuff.
DR Kirigiri looks like it takes place first in the series - some pictures on the DR Wiki depict a much younger looking Kirigiri, possibly as young as 10, no older than 12-14.
I'm GUESSING Dangan Ronpa 0 takes place next. It looks like it takes place during the two years Class 78 lost before the School Life of Mutual Killing began.
Next would be the first game.
DR IF is a divergent canon story. Most of the novel takes place from Mukuro's point of view and it was something you can unlock after beating SDR2. I really hope it's included with the localization. Anyways it's sort of separate from the rest of the timeline because something happens that derails like, EVERYTHING from the midway point of Chapter On onward, but it would go about here on it's own little branch if you had to draw it out.
DR Another Episode PROBABLY takes place sometime after the first game and stars Naegi's little sister, who fights off Monokumas with a megaphone and also Genocider Syo is there (which is why I'm thinking it's after DR1) because why the hell not. This one isn't out yet but trailers have started to surface.
As far as I know, SDR2 is the last thing that happens chronologically, though Dangan Ronpa 3 has been confirmed but we don't know anything about it other than it exists/it's in development/some executive at Spike wants more money.

Another Episode is confirmed to take place between 1 and 2. Yeah, as far as I've learned everything Dixxy said was spot on. DR2 Manga? I didn't know that existed! Hmm, will have to read eventually.

It's told from Komaeda's perspective and only has one chapter, but it's on my manga-reading phone app (Mangablaze, IIRC)

I don't think I even said thank you, actually! Sorry, Chihiro & Dixxy. And thanks!
Now for another question (Wasn't sure another thread would be necessary)... If applicable, does having watched a Let's Play of DR1 all the way through detract from or make the game experience less special for you?

You're welcome I can't say for that one myself - I've seen most of an LP and all of the anime, but I've yet to play the game for myself (largely because I don't yet own a Vita, but I'm hoping to change that soon). For something like DR, I think the thing that will make or break your experience are the FTEs, since that's the most "customizable" aspect of the game and what really introduces you to the other students. But, again, I haven't played myself so I don't know for sure, but I do know I've gone nuts for what I've seen anyways.
