I know it seems overly-generous - I thought so myself on the front-end - but I went with 150 points, up to 75 in Disadvantages, for 225-points at start. I know that's really high, but I started at 100 base, went to 75 and 75, then went to 100 and 100, then ended here. This makes them just Heroic enough to be Shadowrunners, even though it makes them technically more powerful than most Shadowrunners at the start.
Poseurgangs are not the only ones that affect outrageous dress and run about the neighborhood, causing trouble for others. It may not be spandex, but there is a really fine line. That line may or may not be 25-points, but that is what I came up with.
Shadowrun is as much about getting rich as it is advancing your character or roleplaying. And this is so you can advance your gear more than anything else, including your cybertech. The Magic handling is overly convoluted and converting it to Hero made it much smoother, even though I'm still working on incorporating Spirits into the entire thing. Because of the direction in which I took Shamen, which I'm sure many Shadowrun fantatics would hate, it just isn't necessary - but I understand that it is a fundamental aspect of the Shamanic magic system, so I'm going to include it.
What I came up with is not exactly Shadowrun, but it certainly is not Champions (it isn't even Dark Champions or CyberHERO), and it is a game I want to play. It is a world I want to live in, and have an affect on, for years to come. And here's to hoping that is the case.
I'll have a lot more to say on Campaign Tone, Morality, and the rest in posts to come.
