Rule wise, SR is fairly close to D6.  Star Wars went from D6 to d20 okay.  A very simple way of doing SR would be to use the Spycraft rules as the core, the cyber rules from OGL Cybernet, and the magic system from Sovereign Stone. Heck, even if you wanted to keep the same sort of damage system, you could just use the one from M&M, which is very similar to SR.Anyway, with regards to SR4, reading the press release would scare me if I were still a SR fan:"# The core mechanics are completely revised to be simpler and more streamlined for quicker, easier and more consistent play.# Matrix 2.0!

And it seems like they are changing the setting dramatically.</blockquote>
