The Savage Worlds of Shadowrun- A Savage Worlds Conversion for Shadowrun

Here you be: The Savage Worlds of Shadowrun

Recently Stuart Robertson of Strange Magic has been doing G+ posts about running a Shadowrun 4e game and it got me thinking that I actually missed playing/running Shadowrun… More the feel of the world and not the actual ruleset which is too crunchy/convoluted for my tastes…

System preference aside he did give me the bug… So this is all his fault…

A few years ago someone gave me the 4e book because they didn’t want it anymore, but I never took a look at it because I was still bitter towards Shadowrun (I had a really shit-tastic GM that put a sour taste in my mouth towards it). I picked it up and read it. I can understand the rules changes (even if there are some I don’t like that were removed between 3e to 4e), but they are still huge and clunky and complicated.

So I went to a system that I love very much… Savage Worlds.

I searched online for other people’s conversions and found this one. This provided me with inspiration and a good jumping off point on how to do my own conversion/hack. You will see some of this site’s stuff in my conversion, most of it has been changed/altered to my own tastes.

Anyways, hope you enjoy it. I plan to do some pregen characters soon, but I need a break from doing conversions and stuff.

As always, constructive feedback welcome!

That’s damned fine work sir. If I wasn’t such a big fan on CP2020, setting and system, I might ask you to do a quick hack of that one to Savage Worlds too..

    Thanks I’ll be doing an update on the rules at the end of Oct or beginning of November with some stuff taken from CP2020. New layout and some art Feel free to keep your eyes peeled.
    
    You could easily use what I’ve done, just chuck all the magic stuff and it’ll function just like CP2020..
    
    I believe that there is a CP2020 SW hack out there (here it is: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.savageheroes.com%2Fconversions%2FSavage%2520Cyberpunk%25202020.doc&ei=5wFbUKndHcuw0QHLzYHgCA&usg=AFQjCNFXcOyU5J7SbJCig9hciKVFseJQSA)
