Hi all.
Just to get my first post off to a bad start I hate the fourth edition basic system, however I love the setting material and would like to integrate the wireless matrix (including technomancers) into the third edition game I intend to run in a few weeks time.
Could anyone help me with a 4th/3rd conversion for the matrix rules please?

Take Cyberdeck. Add Flux Rating from a VCR. Shrink. You have a Commlink.

Technomancer: Take Otaku. Remove Cyberware. Add Flux Rating based on Resonance.

To clarify, I intend to use the fourth edition setting material, and equipment costs (nuyen and essence) and add technomancers as category B magic, adjusting starting resources so A=250000, B=110000, C=50000, D=20000, E=5000, Adept Powers will use SR4 costs where they differ from SR3, and I shall have cybered sensory enhancements equal to natural ones.

@ Matsci,
I don't have Otaku rules so taking that advice is inapplicable, and with regards to the Matrix it's less a cyberdeck/commlink issue than it is the entirely new Matrix iconography. Thank you for the suggestions but I'd already considered and rejected them after due consideration.

Just FYI, Runners Compainion has Priority Build system for 4e. Technos are D+ Magic, like Adepts, and the newyens are 250000, 140000, 70000, 15000, and 5000.

Cheers for that, chances are it will be a great help. RC is next on my list to buy,
If Adepts and Technos are priority D what are the other Awakened priorities? Adepts were definitely B in 3rd. I'm pleased to see my own resources estimates weren't too far out of line, although rather skewed upwards by a margin.

They have been working on SR3R for coming on 4 years now.
