Unsure how much overlap there is, but on reddit RoxFall started a project to create a fan edition of Shadowrun, a la Pathfinder.

For legal reasons, this has become Neon Arcana, due to copyright and trademark law, as well as the lack of an OGL.

Now, mechanics cannot be copyrighted- only how the author expresses them (artistically, narratively, etc). But we were thinking that maybe the base mechanics should change, too. It would also help out with the legal thing.

We're determining the best route to go with for dice rolling systems right now. Every edition of Shadowrun tweaks it a little.

The main question is: What would you want out of a dice rolling system for a cyberpunk fantasy game that is similar yet legally distinct to Shadowrun?
