Not at all. I think I saw something in the back of the GURPS
Cyberpunk supplement. It should still be avaliable.

I have that book, actually, and I don't remember seeing anything, but
I'll look again.

Here is an system transfert directly from my brain:

Characters
-------------------
Stats:
---------
The gurps average attribute is 10 and Shadowrun is 3... so look at this
table:

Gurps --> Shadowrun
- than 5 1
6-8 2
9-11 3
12-14 4
15 5
16 6
and so on...

Strength --> ST
Intelligence --> IQ
Quickness --> DX
Body --> HT

For Charisma and WillPower, we have a little problem...
so lets check this:

WillPower Gurps Strong/Weak Will
1 -2 level
2 -1 level
3 ------- no changes
4 ------- no changes
5 +1 level
6 +2 level
and so on...

and for charisma, do the same thing for the charisma advantage/appearance
in gurps...

so, a troll with a strength of 10 in shadowrun will have a ST of 20 in
Gurps
not so bad...

Now, for skills:
---------------------
The appropriates skills must be transfered from a system to another...
ex: Armed Combat in shadowrun may cause some problems translating it to
gurps....

for a general rule, check this:

SR Skill Level Gurps Point Added.
1 .5
2 1
3 2
4 4
5 8

and so on....

Now, if you like these rules and you want my personnals ideas for
translating Essence, Advantages/Disadvs and Money

please let me know....
