Hey, I was just thinking about some of the older runs (like those from
Shadows of the Underworld), and was trying to figure out how to convert the
Die Hard style run in that book to something more useable in the 2060s.
(The one where you have to save Dunk's rep from his "Followers")

This me also got to thinkin about other Time Sensitive runs and how to
convert them to modern times.
Any ideas how to do this for the above mentioned runs and the others
mentioned in the book?

Some of them might not be all that difficult to alter. The Die Hard style
run involving rescuing Dunk's rep could be replaced with another politician
or even an organised crime, religious, or mass media figure.

While the run may not have the same "cool" background story as it might have
during the 2057 presidential campaign, it should still be a useful run.

Likewise, old runs involving Fuchi are probably fairly easy to turn into
Novatech runs with no real loss of story.
