Champions Shadowrun Discussion

The world, so far, is too much like what I was going for in Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG, but this will not be the outcome; Buffy sticks more to vampires and demons vs. PCs, whereas this includes fantasy races, more fantastic magic, and different systems. It is far more fantasy-related than anything I was doing with Buffy (excepting the fantasy stuff in Pylea).

It also isn't really Shadowrun. This is cobbled together from (mainly) Dark Champions, CyberHERO, Urban Fantasy Hero, and Hero Horror. Due to circumstances and what is available in PDF these days, it also includes products from three editions (3rd, 4th, and 5th). These products are still available on DTRPG, but I'll link to them throughout the upcoming posts, as Google claims I am working as a doorway to sites like DTRPG... which has everything to do with Google's attempt to stranglehold advertising and nothing to do with me. 

To be sure, this is a blog, not a doorway to anywhere nor anything else. However, part of covering these topics is including links to more information, and I'm sticking to that. Google AdSense changes its direction constantly and wreaks havoc on the Internet. I still want the money I'm owed, though - even if it was only $1.00.

But back to the topic at-hand: Because I can't include tables and charts, I won't be able to provide everything I'm coming up with for this Shadowrun under HERO project to you here, and I don't think I'll be able to secure whatever rights I need to be able to include it in a webzine like I'd planned, but I can definitely post some things like packages, important NPC statblocks, and the like.

And I'm not abandoning Buffy! I still have a ton of stuff I've yet to share, but a blog is not the appropriate place for sharing it due to publishing constraints. I may be able to rewrite and change some things around, but that takes more time than it's worth here; we don't get a lot of traffic, usually. However, I'll still be adding more to Buffy along the way, I'll just be focused on this particular project for the moment.

Anyway, that's what's happening. And posting this helped me clear my own thoughts while informing a largely non-existent audience of my intentions. Now go visit these other people and places for more RPG, comics, and pop-culture -related content in which you are likely to be interested.
