Planning a bit of a "mix-and-match" RPG

You see, I like the cyberpunk/posthuman setting of Hc Svnt Dracones but I can't say much for the rule system with its 20 stats that sometimes combine in counter-intuitive ways. I know second edition is coming out "soon" but in the meantime I have an idea for a campaign from the new "Sound and Silence" lorebook and I think it would work quite well with the more rules-light system of Supers!
You see, in HSD the MegaCorp Pulse is a media giant in the most literal of terms. They've created a bunch of team sports and game shows, even "reality TV". They also foster very competitive attitudes in the citizenry of their corptowns and encourage them to purchase augmentation surgeries (preferably from their clinics). One of their numerous public relations projects to help promote those ideals are the Beacons, costumed and usually augmented vigilantes sponsored by the MegaCorp. In other words, superheroes.
Most Beacons have some sort of show, sport, or other well-known event that makes them celebrities; and then they spend their downtime stopping criminals or rescuing people from fires or some other thing that makes Pulse look good. They also tend to break stuff in the process, but their megacorporate sponsor covers the bills.
Fortunately Pulse's contract with the IRPF stipulates that they turn a blind eye to their actions.
There's also a possibility that Pulse will occasionally back a supervillain or unleash a monster on the unknowing populace for the sake of ratings.

Unfortunately I've only got two, maybe three players who have expressed interest as yet. If this sounds intriguing send me a note and I'll invite you to my Discord server.
Campaign begins in mid-January, at the earliest.
