Subject: Shadowrun goes SpaceMaster???
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 1995 12:01:56 EDT
Hoi Chummers,

anyone ever heard of a group transposing some rules of Shadowrun (not the
campaign, of course) into some kind of SpaceMaster RPG, including the magic
rules etc.? I'm just asking 'cos me and my group played RoleMaster for quite a
time and know the roles - a lot more than we know Shadowrun, I guess. And,
those of you who already played both systems might agree, a switch from one
system to the other one means a LOT of reviewing rules. Horror for a GM with
low memory (I sometimes get up in the morning and don't know exactly who I am,
but that's another problem).

Nevertheless, if someone of you has a good argument for the SR rules like "Hey,
you're playing this game as one billion Runners do!! or I'll blast you away!!!
- what, you're the GM? Heck, anyway...", I think we'll do those switches *sigh*.

-Cozy

P.S. I think Rules should be EASY first, and then LOGICAL. What do you thnik of
a "lean" version of SR? Shadowrun Light, harhar, no sugar, no bullets, no
magic, just LOVE...
