Someone's making a True20 Shadowrun

Post by Captain_Bleach »

Link is right here.
Honestly, though, I do not see how the True20 system fits. The Adept role's powers are far too different for Shadowrun, not to mention the "blaster-caster" effects.

Yeah, it's not a good fit. And it's needlessly complex and unbalanced from the offset, which is never a good idea when the entire point of the system is to be simple and balanced.

It probably wouldn't be worth trying (assuming it's fleshed out) even with a d20-versed, SR ignorant group.

A level based system with hitpoints tends to really suck for doing futuristic gun based settings.

Why do I have a feeling it is going to look a lot like d20 Future?

Thankfully Trued20 has no HP.

remember that one episode when they got trapped in a mine in south african republic(dumbass name for a country), and they built a battle tank? that was sweet. serves the bad guys right for trapping them in a mine with all the gears and tools.
