We have no clue as to what the conversion process might look like. Game
enjoyment has nothing to do with realism, nor does Shadowrun. When the game
is published, we will both convert our favorite old characters following or
ignoring the inevitable guidelines, and in 6 months or so we will all be
running purpose generated SR4 characters.
Now for something new: a contest to stat out Zig and Zag as usable NPCs.
Operators of the NPC Wiki could open a section to archive the suggested
stats. Perhaps someone will cite an apporpriate secion of Stackpole. For now,
entrants will be 3rd ed, after the con, the contest will be shifted to 4th
ed. Kori will provide an appropriate prize suggestion.
