So It Isn't Shadowrun

So, what I came up with is not Shadowrun. I deleted some races and options, moved some things around, and reassessed. And, it's still not Shadowrun.

I like what I came up with, I really do - in fact, that's what I plan on playing - but it isn't Shadowrun. Shadowrun got buried somewhere along the way. So I found someone else's Shadowrun to Hero adpatation and am starting over. Not from scratch but from whatever this guy came up with.

After a cursory glance, he did a thorough job. And he entitled his efforts the same thing I was going to call this, were I to give it a name (the obvious choice, I think). I won't mention it because I don't know the legality of the product. It looks self-published and I only have the PDF.

Anyway, that's where I stand. I'll have more to say on both but now I have to be away long enough to read this thing. I'm not throwing out what I came up with for Shadowrun; I'm going to merge the two as I see fit, but I am going to lean on what has already been done. I'm sure it's more replete and accurate than what I was doing.

I'm not looking to get into any trouble; my decision to do this is purely for personal purposes. I plan to play Shadowrun under the Hero system, one way or another - whether that be online or solo - and give it a fair shot. The only thing I recall not enjoying about it was the system, which is why I decided to do this.
