Durandana and I recently had the brain child of converting Bioshock to SR4 rules. The prodject is still in its infancy, but none the less we are making great headway.


________________Things worked out; a summary (subject to frequent change.)_________________________________________________________

New stat called ABEL: basically Magic stat, Determines how many plasmids you have at once (slots from the game). Bought with ADAM(not karma) in increments. Upgrading can cause Mutation(Body+Edge; ABEL rounded down -1)
ADAM addiction: Mental addiction restist test every time genetic code is rewriten. (Willpower+Edge; Plasmid/Tonic cost divided by 40)

Plasmids/Gene Tonics: Work like power points for Adepts. Plasmids cause spell drain.
EVE: Buffer for Plasmid Drain.

Qualities:
Genetic Adaptivity (Extra ABEL at start, max increased)
Rigid Genes (half ABEL at start)

Weapons:(stated and ready w/ execption to grenade launcher and chemical thrower)

Enemies: Big Daddies (Bouncer, Rosie, Rumbler, Alpha series)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Would you kindly give us any feedback or suggestions. It would be very helpful.

ADAM, EVE, ABEL, Plasmids, and You!

ADAM
Newtons first law times the Atom bomb times the discovery of fire. Pretty much sums up the importance of ADAM. It allows the Genetic modification of cells, by replacing existing cells with unstable steam versions of them.
Adam is requred for Buying Gene Tonics, Plasmids, and Increasing ABEL.

ABEL
Every person's genes are maleable to a certain point. ABEL Repesents exactly how much Plasmids/Gene Tonics you can stuff in your body.
Everyone Starts out with an ABEL of 1 (2 if you have Genetic Adaptivity, .5 if you have Rigid Genes.) Plasmids and Tonics are repersented in points. Plasmids take up .5 ABEL, Combat and Phisical Tonics .3, and Mental and Social Tonics .2 ABEL. You can have more Tonics/Plasmids in you but you can only have as many Tonics and Plasmids Active as your ABEL will allow. Any excess plasmids/tonics will go dormant and you cannot use them untill you have more ABEL, or you switch it out at a Gene Bank. Gene Banks Cost money mind you and Few and far between! Choose your Plasmids wisely!

Plasmids
Everything from a Fis'full of loit'nin, to Bees from your flesh. Plasmids are the Spells of the Bioshock. You buy Plasmids at Gatherer's Garden stores, or the occational one laying about. Plasmids cost ADAM at Gatherer's Gardens, and plasmids have Levels. Each Level determines the force of the Plasmid, and the drain it causes. Plasmids have a dice pool of (Plasmids+Intuition). Drain is handled (Body+Edge).
Availiable Plasmids already worked out:
Spoiler:

EVE
EVE is An unprocessed, specialized form of ADAM. Plasmids Run off of ADAM and without EVE; Plasmids can Eat away at ADAM in the body, causing Faituge, Intense pain, and In some cases Death. EVE works like a buffer between plasmids and your body's ADAM. EVE is injected Into the bloodstream via Hypodermic needle. this EVE Hypo has a Rating between 1 to 20. Eve is cumilative aswell but wears off after a week of non use. EVE is Consumed first before plasmids cause harm to the user. (example Drain 7 has 5 EVE. Drain remaining 2.)

Gene Tonics
Gene tonics are like plasmids, only passive abilities. Like an increase in strenght, night vision, or the ability to cling to walls, or think twice as fast as the average human.

I was thinking that the plasmids should have an individual maximum force like they did in 3rd Edition. You'd have to spend ADAM to improve your plasmids independently of ABEL since even if you have more capacity to hold plasmids, you need to have a better plasmid too if you want more power out of it.

Conveniently, SR4 provides Adept Drain rules, and Attribute rating max power rules as well... So if these continue to look like an Adept, with a major rules overhaul, there is some excellent standing information to work with.

Well, I figured Force and Drain would work like in Bioshock, with plasmids having levels (usually 1 through 3) and Force being determined by the level, along with other things (like duration and threshold of secondary effects). Drain would depend on level too, but doesn't increase as linearly.

I've got a list of plasmids I've started statting already... just need a break so I can continue working on it. But... since this is a side project, don't wanna slack on the main games... Neutral

Hey DD, i figure just a few more converts maybe a sample character or two and we can get this show on the road. the main thing we need to work on is statting Individual Plasmids/Gene tonics and adjusted character creation rules. I think we can start a game in roughly two weeks time. However this is a rough estimate and could take longer or shorter.

PostSubject: A couple of anal retenive questions.   Steampunk to Cyberpunk: Complete Bioshock Conversion thread EmptyThu May 27, 2010 5:44 am

Essence drain? sense you are rewriteing the genes, there should be some I think. Is there going to be a build point cost to be a splicer, or are you mundane? If you would like how I would do this send me a PM and I will see what I can come up...already have a few ideas. Is this going to be played with the other character options in SR4? HAve you started comeing up with how to make a Big Daddy, Big Sister, Lil Sister...ect. If Not Let me know what your ideas are for them....I was thinking "Cybered" For Big Daddy, Adapts for the sisters, with a metamagic and focus addiction for the harvesting. One final question are you doing this off of both games or just the first?

Are little sisters incluided?

PostSubject: How's this conversion coming?   Steampunk to Cyberpunk: Complete Bioshock Conversion thread EmptySun Aug 08, 2010 12:56 pm

I would like to find out if this conversion is still in the works or if it is esentially done. If it is complete, I would like to see it so i can post it at the new SSG when it comes online later this month.

DD: I don't think I have seen a post out of Dura since school ended in May. I think she will likely be back in force at the end of this month (purely speculation, of course) once she returns to whatever university is keeping her out of trouble for this chapter of her life. I believe that I have seen a similar pattern from Vanya. Although, I think I have seen Vanya log in once or twice since then, certainly nothing regular.

Ok, I'll keep this up for awhile. It will take a little while to code the new SSG anyway. I want to post the conversions there when they, and it, are done.


Thanks for the info..
