d20 Aeonverse: Anyone playing

Just wondering -- after all the hubabaloo and angst over d20 versions of the Aeonverse games (Adventure!, Aberrent, Trinity), I didn't hear much after its release. I thought the rules of d20 Adventure! were pretty decent.

(Incedentally, d20 Aberrent is the current DTRPG freebie:

The rules should serve the game, not vice-versa.
Use the rules, but don't let the rules use you!

To be honest, i already have Aberrant and Trinity for the ST system and while i have no interest or like for their game system (at least the old version), i can't see buying the books all over again just for a D20 version. Maybe others had the same thoughts. Maybe a lot of them. Or maybe they are the greatest d20 games ever written and everybody is just keeping it to themselves!

The d20 versions are acvtually pretty well done. I don't have trinity, but I do have Abberant and Adventure.

Very much a matter of opinion and personal tastes. I loved the ST versions, but loathed so many things about the d20 versions.

YMMV.

I've got very little interest in playing Aberrant right now, but if I were to do so I'd probably prefer d20 Aberrant for the sake of familiarity and simplicity.

On the other hand, if I could play in Adventure! I'd want to convert it to the new Storytelling system from World of Darkness.

Can you guess that I don't think much of the way either original game handled things mechanically?

Actually, both were a leap forward compared to, say, Vampire: the Masquerade Revised, it's just that World of Darkness goes that much further and improves the system enormously.
