Nexus Shadowrun

[garrowolf]

I've got the basics of a Nexus D20 conversion of Shadowrun up. I was wondering if anyone would try testing it for me and see what else is needed or if anyone had any more ideas.

Is anyone interested in this in the first place?

I've been following your updates on Nexus with interest, but honestly can't see having enough time to test run in the foreseeable future (my group isn't interested in starting a modern/sci-fi anything at the moment).

On the surface everything looks solid and easy to use. I especially liked the takes on vehicle rules, damage types and morale.

But really, it would need testing to see what actually works well. Like this one: Nexus is based on the fact that a good Hacker is about skill and not stuff. A good Hacker can do his hacking with crappy equipment just for a challenge. This is the opposite from Shadowrun were it's all about the gear. Nexus makes the Hacker an important character type again."
It sounds good.

Well it can run low tech settings just as well! Check out the settings page for a list by tech level.

Oh, so it does. The whole time I've been under the impression it was just modern and beyond. Hmm. I'll have to consider doing something with it over Christmas.

I'm working on getting some archetypes for every tech level. Which tech level are you interested in running and I will focus on finishing those.

I'm thinking Age of Sail.

Ok cool

I was thinking Merchant, Villager, Sailor, and Musketeer. Any other ideas?

Hmm. Those could already be modified into a lot of different roles (pirate, artisan, explorer, servant, etc.).

Noble and Soldier (infantry/cavalry)?
