If that's true, then there wouldn't be much work to change it over to the current edition. Hero System hasn't changed much from 4th to 6th.

I currently play in a Savage Worlds (mostly homebrew) conversion, which works really well.

To clarify, I have played a lot of tabletop rpgs but have found most of them too crunchy. D&D3.5, for example requires the player to learn to exploit its feat and options or the player will find themselves at a disadvantage to those players who do so. Since role playing and story is really important to me, I don't like rules which make the majority of my players, who aren't into mastering systemics, at the mercy of long combat rounds and rules lawyers.

I also enjoy war gaming where the crunch is part of the fun but the two populations of players don't overlap very much.

Well, if you want a game system with very little crunch that's extremely story and RP-driven, then I point you back to our earlier mentions of the Dresden Files RPG.

Care to share the rules? I'm comparing some SR->Savage Worlds conversions, and I could use another POV.

(Plus, somebody should nudge "Savage Run" to do an English version. That bad boy looks thorough!)

I'd love to, but our GM has asked me not to as they're not ready for public consumption.  I've PMed you with his email address, and he's happy for you to get in touch.

Hi :)

I think you may want to look into the Tactical Ops rpg system.
It is fast, cinematic, action oriented, gizmo-friendly and...
- GM less
- zero prep
- works perfectly with just 2 players

I think that the in-built guidelines to play in a Cyberpunk and Fantasy setting would be more than enough to re-create the Shadowrun feel.
But I see a proper Setting-in-a-Box coming up in the future.

You can find more info, some Actual Plays and the current BETA rules at the following adress: http://psychosys-rpg.blogspot.com
