Hey, kids, it's been a while, but I've got another conversion project to share with y'all. I don't know how many of you are familiar with Mutant Chronicles, but I'm a huge fan of that universe. It's kind of like a completely over-the-top version of Shadowrun with steam-punk rolled in. Anyways, I recently acquired a number of the rulebooks for the MC RPG, and it's pretty weak stuff. So I did what I always do, I converted it to SR3 rules.

I've got a bare bones webpage up at http://homepage.mac.com/gammell/dt/. It's mostly just an index for the pdf files. Though much remains to be done, the pdf files provided have easily enough material to run MC sessions. For world information http://www.sebman.com/ probably has the most complete compilation online.

So far, we tested it out with an all-day session that completely rocked. I promised over-the-top rocket-powered mayhem, and that's what we got in spades. Portals to hell, 4 meter ezoghouls wielding chain guns, an inquisition against heretics, legions of the undead, and a 19-round drum-fed rocket launcher that clicked dry more than once.

I am a huge fan of the MC universe and actually just revisited a D20 conversion I had started and tested a couple years back with the hopes of improving it (moving more to OGL than straight d20). I'll take a look at your conversion when I have a chance as I love Shadowrun too. I'd do it now but i chanced across this with 5 minutes left in my lunch break.
