The conversion is that of statistics and rules alone, not of plot and adventure text, and does not seek to undermine WizKids' copyright of this material. Part 1: Pre-Generated Player Characters Character statistics and gear were re-generated with 400 BPs while attempting to present the spirit of their SR1 statistics and descriptions in DNA/DOA.

One q though, I may have misunderstood...but isn't it Logic+Intuition in free Skill Points (i.e. 16 = 4 skills at rating 4), and not Building Points?

Yep! It is Knowledge Skill Points that are free (usable on a one-to-one cost basis), and anything over that uses BP (and BP costs).

Neophyte Runner Group: Members Posts: 2,086 Joined: 26-February 02 Member No.: 364	Gah! DNA/DOA barely even counted as a SR1 adventure. It was more like a late 80s AD&D dungeon-crawl with some SR bits grafted on late in production. Of course, being the first, there wasn't really any point of reference for the author.

It IS an SR adventure, except for various D&D bits still remaining in it (the Aztechnology facility). You have alot of complications, a possible mole in the team, alot of politics; it has redeeming features, but it takes a good GM to weed the D&D out. Next I'll convert Silver Angel, which is far more SR.

EDIT: On a second thought, Dreamchipper would be my next conversion. I love that adventure :) Silver Angel next, followed by Mercurial.

Part 2: NPCs
The NPCs were converted semi-directly to SR4 while attempting to keep them both as close to the original as possible and on a similar power level; SR4 and 2070 elements were included as nescery.

One q though, I may have misunderstood...but isn't it Logic+Intuition in free Skill Points (i.e. 16 = 4 skills at rating 4), and not Building Points?

Yep! It is Knowledge Skill Points that are free (usable on a one-to-one cost basis), and anything over that uses BP (and BP costs).

Thanks for the clarification, I stand corrected :)

I also just bought Hero Lab and so I have stuck all of the NPCs from this thread into it and generated a portfolio to run the adventure. It worked like a charm! Anyway, if anyone is interested, I can share the Hero Lab portfolio, just let me know. Ian

I'm glad someone necromanced this thread, since I'd never seen it back in the day. This is one of my favorites, possibly for some of the same reasons that some people hate it. Maybe I'm just old. QUOTE (RunnerPaul @ Oct 21 2005, 06:03 PM) Gah! DNA/DOA barely even counted as a SR1 adventure. It was more like a late 80s AD&D dungeon-crawl with some SR bits grafted on late in production. Of course, being the first, there wasn't really any point of reference for the author. There's a reason it looks like that; take a look at the writing credit. That's the same Dave Arneson that helped create D&D in the first place. And, as you noted, there really wasn't a reference point on what an SR adventure might look like. Nebulus, I'd love a copy of that portfolio. Email it to the addy in my profile, if you'd be so kind. Thanks!!
