Porting Harlequin's Back to 2076 Options Track this topic Email this topic Print this topic Download this topic Subscribe to this forum Display Modes Outline Switch to: Standard Switch to: Linear+

As the subject line states, I’m planning on running (with varying degrees of fidelity) Harlequin’s Back, in my SR5 game. Converting stats and the like is easy enough, as I’m more interested in using the spirit of the thing more than making an exact mechanical replica.

But I have one question. If I throw canon overboard and say that the ‘hot spot’ created by the Ghost Dance was only becoming a major danger point in 2076, does that really interfere with much other history of the game world? I would re-write things such that the DC rift had allowed some ‘others’ to cross over, leading to the ‘scouting’ that identified the hot spot, hence the efforts to build the bridge. There may have been efforts to diffuse the hot-spot, but after no success another solution is required.

Would that actually break any other major historical points? (I missed most of the history between 2051 and 2075—I don’t think anything else really depended on the events of Harlequin’s Back, but I could be wrong).

And while I'm posting....if anyone has memories of running or playing that adventure, any particular advice of things to do or avoid or to change from how it is written?
