Because of the lack of directly compatible mechanics, most of the SAS stuff we converted by "the feel of the character" as opposed to anything else, but it worked. I think the most disappointing experience I have had thus far is that all the supplemental stuff to include the Champions crossover are all set around Tri-Stat, which I quite specifically disliked. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but I see Ninja-Bear has replied while I typed this; perhaps he has something a bit more useful for you.
Interesting that folks are down on the Tri-Stat system. I admit I never actually played it or the d20 version of SAS , but reading it, it made a pretty favorable impression on me. It seemed pretty similar to Hero System in a lot of ways. I'm curious what Hero System fans disliked about it. Was it a matter of the similarities being only skin-deep, while the differences ran all the way to the core? Yes, that's about as far as I went, also. I starting converting some of my 5th Edition write-ups using guidelines listed on Killer Shrike's website, but the desire soon fizzled out.
That is, in my limited experience with it, probably the best summation I could offer you, Sir. To put it in broad terms: while it was a quick-and-easy play system for the most part, it just wasn't as I hate to say "universal," but that was also an issue-- as it thought it was. It was a pretty slick "action movie" feel: there were broad sweeping options to do broad sweeping things, but it didn't really impart a unique feel to either very-low-end like the newly-printed Western HERO, for example or a particularly powerful or grandiose feel to the high end Even that's not really expressing what I want to express It had a distinct sweet spot: one of those "let's take a break" game nights where you want to break out something quick and dirty and light and bash your way through some bad guys without too much regard for detail; quite literally "action movie" style.
I hope that makes more sense than I think it does. I like books like this for ideas, inspiration, and scenario concepts, which I can then use in my preferred games. Granted though, Tri-Stat collapses them all down into only three stats instead of just using those concepts to categorize stats , and I can see how that might be not granular enough. The thing is once I saw how they broke everything down, it seemed more complex than it was worth.
