My group has been playing for over a year now, and have finally gotten to the point of being runners over DnD players. They are ready for some classic Shadowrun missions.

We are almost done running Elven Blood, and while it has been really fun, and going well, it doesn't touch upon the urban element or corporate influence.

What are some classic modules that I could convert without spending a year doing it? I have herolab so I'm not worried about the numbers with NPCs, and the wireless matrix stuff, well, could be handwaved or maybe the spots they visit are dead zones unless directly connected.

Thanks!

I always liked Demon in a Bottle and UB (Universal Brotherhood) -- but I've never tried converting them...

DNA/DOA
Queen Euphoria
Dragonhunt
A Killing Glare

If you want the whole list - Here

I'm running DOTA (Dawn of the Artifacts) and I just guestimate stats as we go - I didn't officially convert them. Though on the next part, I think I will build out the matrix ahead of time; that seems to be my biggest hangup on the old runs.

[edit] Depends how far back you want to go - I suppose "classic" is relative! I liked Harlequin and the Bug City stuff as well.
[2nd edit] You might look at Missions - we're getting ready to run Season 1 in the next couple of months.

4e Twighlight Horizon not only has background on the megacorp Horizons but has a couple of missions.
4e Boardroom and Backstab I & II
These three have the advantage that i requires less alteration than older modules to work w/5e

3e Blood In the Boardroom, and, Corporate Punishment

Those are 5 pdfs w/corporate intrigue.

I'm planning on running the Missions Denver Campaign as the framework while working Dawn of the Artifacts and possibly Harlequin (respeced  to Denver of course) intermixed.
