Due to the copyright and trademark restrictions, I have no idea how much of this stuff I will be able to share here or publish elsewhere, but I've always liked the basic concept for Shadowrun, just not the system. I have always loved the HERO system, but it lacks lore and core concepts because it is a universal system.
We were discussing this online when I decided to take the plunge and give it a go. There is already a serviceable Unisystem conversion online, and I have taken Buffy about as far as I can before getting it to a table or finding the right solo system for it, so it's time to move on to another project I have always wanted to try. The key here seems to be purchasing the right books, and there are more than a few.
I already have a substantial amount invested in Hero, and several books from the Shadowrun line, so I had a jumpstart on things. But adopting a new system or even project is not something I can afford to take lightly, and this is not going to be light on my wallet before it is done. Luckily, I can space-out my purchases over a few months and take the time to read what I buy.
My shadowrunning team consists of a cybertechnician, a cybermancer decker, a cybernetically-augmented dwarf with a magic axe, and a small team of occult-investigating mercs. Horror Hero has a superb scenario generator that lead me to create a villainous mad scientist intent on kidnapping one of the DNPCs (mercs), so I am all but off and running. I still have a lot of details to fill-in and will share what I come up with.
