Other than the WoD conversion mentioned in another thread, anyone think about converting Etherscope to any other systems? There are two systems out there that seem like they would be a natural - True20 and Savage Worlds. I'm going to be running an Etherscope game at a one-shot day in my city for local gamers and I'm going to attempt to do a True20 conversion for that. Shouldn't take a huge amount of effort. Especially since it's a one-shot and I'll only have to be worried about what I'm gonna use.
But after that, I'm gonna seriously look at converting for Savage Worlds. I just got that game last week and I really like what I see. I bet Etherscope would port over pretty well.
Other Etherscope conversions?

I agree it probably would translate into Savage world with little difficulty. BUT then why would you it's a great game as it is and one of the better uses of the OGL I've seen in a while (though the best still has to be Mutants and Masterminds)
I say leave it as it is and enjoy it the way it was meant to be.
P.S. if you do do a conversion post it I'd still like to see how you did it

I just like fiddling. I like doing conversions. Also, there are several things that I don't much like about OGL that both True20 and Savage Worlds fixes.jamat wrote:I agree it probably would translate into Savage world with little difficulty.

Both conversions seem like they'd be pretty easy. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Oh and I thought of another conversion that would be neat, and seems almost obvious, although it would take quite a bit of work - Shadowrun!
