My Dream To Do List

[rob]

We've been jonesing to be able to do Shadowrun ourselves. Colen runs a Shadowrun campaign and the folks a Catalyst have gave us a green light long ago. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the licensing to be sorted out with WizKids/Topps, and who knows how long that will take.

If you're going to launch into something as your first foray into authoring, please do *NOT* select Shadowrun. That's like going straight into a graduate course in particle physics when you haven't yet taken high school physics. Cut your teeth on something less complex first and get a good handle on stuff, else you're in for a major challenge.

Cthulhutech and Dark Heresy should be quite doable with the Kit. The structures of those games will present a few wrinkles, but every game has its own twists to contend with. If you pursue either of those games, don't hesitate to ask questions here, since I'm moderately familiar with both of them, as I'm sure are others here on the forum.

I'm not familiar with Saga, but I've heard it's very similar to 4e, so that should also be quite doable. You'll understand why next week.

d20 Modern would be the most work, since creating the d20 system to begin with would entail lots of effort. This system falls into the same category as Shadowrun - i.e. not recommended as your first game system.

Hope this helps...
