When I started running SR I took the campaign that I had been running
in AD$D and adapted it to shadowrun. It required adding a parallel world
to the SR universe, with an artifact on one world (AD$D) causing the cycle
of magic on the SR world. The two worlds merged in 2001. Well, actually
the artifact finally did what it was supposed to do and destroyed its world
and merged the energy of that universe with the SR world. For my game this
in part explains the rapid rise of magic. It also means that when magic
fully returns it will not go away, which means that the horrors will be
here to stay. At the end of my campaign the characters will have an
opportunity to destroy all magic forever (using the same artifact) thereby
saving the world from the horrors. Sneaky, huh? Basically it doesn't
interfere with anything that FASA has planned, and gives me some options
that the players can't find by reading all the sourcebooks and adventures.

This also allows me to transfer a few of my AD$D NPCs to SR and play havoc
with the PCs.

I used to play Star Wars with my group. (Hey, it hit us at a
vulnerable age! <smirk>) With the introduction of the Light elemental
effect, one of my buddies wants to ressurect his Jedi character as a mage
wielding a weapon focus with an anchored damaging manipulation spell using
Light effects. <g> Our GM is thinking about it, but we haven't decided
whether we're going to let him keep the robes. <g>


Peace and Long Life,

Scott

Yup, we had some cross-overs (can't stand this word) of the SR and
the Amber universe. It was kinda nice, throwing the PCs into an
unknown world, stuffed with hi tech and magic. >:)

I'm actually compiling a book of artifacts for shadowrun.

both magicall items that require bonding and those that don't.

This is not from adventures. If you have ideas e-mail me.
