Most rule books would proberly not be very serviceable. Sourcebooks (with
world info and pure storylines) would be very usable.

>Samurai Catalog and Sprawl Sites sourcebooks would still have some use.

SSC would proberly not be very usefull for SR4, since most of the stats and
mechanich has changed dramatically.

Sprawl Sites has been updated/replaced by Sprawl Survival Guide, which would
still be usable in SR4 (with minor conversions).

>Most of the adventures (since none of us has played them) would still be
>useable after conversion. Sorry I didn't make that more clear.

FanPro har promised to publish a free (PDF) conversion guide. I would wait
and see befor buying any of the old adventures, unless you just want them
for inspiration.
