It's 2017 so...., Curiously 'retro' Options

[Moirdryd]

There's been a lot of Retro style game stuff happening it seems over the last couple of years...

World of Darkness did and are doing the 20th anniversary edition stuff
Classic SR and Battletech novels seem to be spilling out in ebook form and look popular
The Shadowrun Returns series of games looked mostly well received and did cool stuff with the 2050s
WotC have been releasing ebooks of classic D&D stuff from all editions and the 5E D&D game is also hardening back to its roots whilst moving forwards
GW are making a bigger push with specialist games once more and seem to be slowly stumbling back towards the style of things that made them big in the first place
Traveller has been rereleased in a new yet classically familiar form
Small presses seem to be producing things in a flavour of the game styles of the 80s 90s and early 00s...

All this has led to me (plus moving across the country) opening up my Sr3 (and 2) collection again (or the parts that moved with me anyway).

Recently before the move I had been running SR5 (and with a few tweaks I really do like SR5) but while we had fun with the campaign something felt missing still. Time moved on and other games happened and then move happened and I've just concluded a Mage story for my flat mates. With all the 90s esq stuff that's lurking out there I opened up the BBB and a rush of experiences flowed back in. The subsystems. The quirky interactions. The unique way different parts of the game worked in different ways from other parts if the game. The tinkering you could do with the game using the rules as written because they were designed to express the Sixth World in the game and not tied to any set in stone mechanic system. Sure it's knotty, it's really not perfect, but that lack of perfection (and it wasn't trying to be perfect) and all of the wierd little bits gt be geared up again like the first time I picked up the book...

So how about you all out there DumpShockers?
What happened to those private and public SR3r projects?
Any of you been dusting off older editions and playing around wih them? Modding them? Running them?
How about old adventures? Have you ported any into your current system or taken your group back through time and editions to give them a try in their native form?
Is there cool stuff from the past or current game that really got your Sixth World vibe burning hot again from any edition?
Or is there just something from the other stuff that has always made you go WTF? But in a good "only in the Sixth World" way?

Not looking for edition bashing but instead positive experiences, thoughts and ideas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
