D20 Spellcasting is very unsimilar to SR spellcasting. There is no concept of Essence in D20 Modern, either. But some basic aspects can certainly be replicated - cybered characters and spellcasters infiltrating corporate buildings, stealing data, wares or even personnel can be certainly done with those books. Johnsons messing with the PCs is certainly viable with any system. I'd say the more you want the rules to replicate the Shadowrun feeling, the more house rules and adaptions you will have to make. If you want to please a hardcore Shadowrun-Player, it will be next to impossible, but if you just want a game inspired by Shadowrun, D20 Modern is certainly a good choice. There are certainly a few D20 Shadowrun conversions out there - I started one a few years ago together with some friends. One of them is still working on it, but I am no longer interested in it, especially after I have played a bit Shadowrun 4.0 (I am perfectly content with that incarnation and rules and see no longer a need to change the rule system).</blockquote>
