New settings: It's not just for D20 anymore!, Pulp fiction and zombies - WOOT! Options

[SpasticTeapot]

The artist of Yirmumah - an old-school webcomic known for its less than polite language - is releasing a comic book based around a man who finds the secret lair and power ring of a superhero who mysteriously disappeared.

...most people here could care less.

However, as a promotion, he's releasing the "journals" of the superhero - and, from the bit of them I've read, they may make a very interesting setting for Shadowrun, indeed.

Some facets of the setting:

1. Low-key super powers and supernatural beings. Adept abilities (and maybe a few spells) would work very well in place of superhero abilities here.

2. Vampires and ghouls, who "reproduce" through...a virus. WizKids was kind enough to write all this out for us - making the conversion much easier.

3. Guns, cars, et cetera. Make the cars slower, clunkier, and less efficient, and you're done. Guns can be used more or less as-is, though most weapons would obviously be a bit less advanced (early Uzis, Stens instead of Smartguns, et cetera.)

4. Luck/karma/Super-Hero-Ness is a major part of being a superhero, and Shadowrun has this too.

5. For the Mad Science fans, frankenstein-esque "body modifications" can be ruled in - just treat them as bioware.

I've tried GMing SR a few times, and it never worked out well - too complex, and people ended up dead - they kept acting like they were superheroes. Shadowrun has almost everything I need - why bother working on any additional rules?

Any thoughts on my conversion, or other potential conversions?
