I've had this idea for a while and I wanted to see if anybody else has ever attempted it.
If any of you have ever played D&D you're familiar with the premise; the rules in the book can be used in the "main" setting, one of the alternate settings published by the company, or a homebrew setting the GM creates. It occurred to me that SR4 as a ruleset has a lot of potential for homebrew settings. There's just so much in it. The metatypes, the sci-fi tech, magic, dragons, crime, etc. You could build your own Star Wars galaxy with this stuff. Which is not to say that I dislike the setting or find it bland. I just see a lot of potential for all the stuff in this game to take on all different kinds of forms and premises. So what do you guys think? Have you tried it? If not, do you know anyone who has? |
