Eek! Ack! Urk! I don't think it'd be worth it... The games are on two
completely different orders of magnitude... Writing an ED/SR crossover would
be about as useful as writing an Amber/ED crossover. If you really want to,
the ED listing for a typical Ork suggests that SRStat = (EDStat^2/8) might be
a good place to start... Yes, I realize that this makes the average ED PC a
monster with stats of around 20, but like I said, the two games aren't on the
same power level. (Back before ED came out, I recall a FASA rep being quoted
as saying that they wouldn't do any official crossover because representing
ED in SR would require ungodly handfulls of dice...)

Heh heh... I figured as much... *shrug* oh well... makes sense to me... any
"crossover" I did would just be something that the players would appreciate,
and that the characters wouldn't realize the full scope (for example, having a
major ED enemy resurface in the SR campaign... the players would love the
chance to get this guy, while the characters just do their job). That kind of
"crossover" can be tailored to whatever specs you want to use, and I suppose
its more a thread that spans several thousand years, rather than a true
"crossover". Sorta like what happened in "Needful Things", where the
guy had
been around a long time, doing evil stuff...
Hold on... I got an adventure to write... no... make that two adventures...
this could be interesting... :-)
