As Rich (My partner in crime at Origins this year, and next :)) said,
unfortunately the systems aren't similar at all. But... It wouldn't
surprise me to see someone do conversion rules <grin>
BTW: When We asked about a BT/SR Crossover at Gen Con two years ago,
Bryan's face turned blue and Mike joked about Kerensky really being
Harlequin :]

it

<laugh> Who cares what they think :]

>OOO TOYS!

These were VERY nicely detailed too... For anyone at Gen Con, check these
out there :] They had a couple with some REALLY nice paint jobs :]
>>There is now some jewelry company making Shadowrun "S" symbol Pins,
>>Earrings, and Pendants. These run between $15 and $30, I think, depending
>>on what you want. These looked really cool, and it was a shame that they
>>were so expensive...

Actually, no... BUT...
FASA is currently working with a new Shirt Company, apparently, and they're
still working out the bugs... :] SO I'd expect to see something soon...
We were supposed to get Vor T-shirts at Origins, but they weren't ready...
>>Man and Machine sould be out most likely in September, with the Shadowrun
>>Quick Start Rules following that, with Cannon Companion after that. The
>>Quick Start rules will be a simplified version of the SR rules (Kinda like
>>old D&D vs. AD&D) that will sell for $7.00.

Patience my son... :]
>>I think that was most of it. It was a fun weekend, and we had a great

>>play Shadowrun with Mike Mulvhill! Of course, for some reason, they handed

>So how was it? What kind of mission, any fun stories from the game?
>How was Mike as a GM? What DID Szeto play if not the rigger? Etc.

Well, I don't want to say too much, since I believe it was the adventure
from Quick Start :] But it was a lot of fun... We had like 8 people
playing, so it gota bit bogged down, but it was still fun... And Jon was
playing the Mage :]
