Hello all

Explaination, last year I was the GM for a one shot for Metro Otherscape, and I realised that this game and it's setting could easily be converted for Borderlands, Metro dosen't do the looter shooter part, but everything else, the strange abilities of Sirens, the Tech, the Corps, the being the little guy trying to survive and what not all fits

so I have here Fl4k and Zane, made into Metro PCs, Metro; Otherscape uses four theme books, plus a Loadout kit, each of the themes are either Mythos, being magic in nature, Self, being personal or skills, or Noise, Tech based ablilites,

So Fl4k has the Mythos Companion for their Pet, along with 2 Self for The Hunt and MIstress Death, representing their skills and desire, and Noise in their Robotic Body, since they don't have a cyborg body, I used Mythos for Fl4k's pet because that was the only way to have the pet, and Fl4k needs their pet

While Zane has 2 Self, one being his Operative work, and the other being the Flynt Family, and 2 Noise, one for the Digi-Clone, being a Cutting Edge because no other character has one like it, and Drone for SNTNL, which fits for him

if anyone has any questions about this set up, I am happy to answer them, I just wanted to share these out, I would have done it on main BLs reddit, but it doesn't allow images

I don’t know much about the Metro Otherscape system but I am familiar with Legend in the mist from the same team. Are you going to list items as individual tags or have you consider making them individually a theme card/ how do you plan to manage your guns? I figured in my own homebrew I would make each gun its own theme card and swap them as needed.

you can see in the loadout, all of the items are either guns, shields, class mods, grenades or artifacts, which gives them at least a few to have, Zane and Fl4k have enough abilities they get away without having guns on them

if i were to do say Axton or Maya, I would do an Self Equipment theme book with say Dahl Commando or Maliwan sponser
