I'm in the process of gearing up for a Shadowrun game and there are a number of adventures from past editions that I want to use. Of course, there's going to be the requisite conversion, substitutions, and whatnot with regard to stats, but what I'd like to know is this: when it comes to the PCs getting paid, do you "adjust" for "inflation" between editions? If so, how much?
Thanks!

Shadowrun 5E actually has a set of guidelines for how much nuyen people should get paid. As I don't recall there being similar guidelines in the older books, I'd say inflation is not much of a concern. If you want to account for such, do an inventory on the equipment lists and see how much the prices for equivalent items have changed to estimate a percentage.

Good points. My game is fourth edition, so I wasn't aware of the info in the fifth edition.
Thanks!

You're welcome!
