[QUOTE="MortonStromgal, post: 5184476, member: 76231"] If you already have the 4e books I would go with Desolation if you like dice pools. Now your going to have to make up some rules for some things like the matrix and firearms (its a fantasy game) but Desolation is a d2 dice pool game with one opposed roll for combat and free form magic (ala mage like) with drain. Now I think Desolation is a bit rough around the edges so if you looking for a well balanced system you may want to go to GURPS or HERO. Not fond of dice pools I would say Eclipse Phase(percentile system), the pdf is free :) and it has all the tech stuff figured out but no magic (but there is psionics). Also your SR4 stuff is supposedly easy to convert (at leased according to the fans on dumpshock). Personally I love the way Eclipse Phase handles the matrix and hope when SR5 comes around they go that route. [/QUOTE]
