Star Wars Sage Edition

It was a huge improvement over Star Wars Honey Mustard BBQ Edition.

Well, I'm not sure anyone would actually select it, but Passages has its own version of d20 (and is referred to as the "Passages system".

I thought Passages was a preview of the Bullseye20 system?

Another vote for Star Wars Saga Edition as overall favorite, with Mutants & Masterminds 2nd edition close behind.

1- Arcana Evolved
2- Grim Tales / D20 Modern
3- Game of Thrones
4- Conan
5- Iron Heroes
6- Etherscope

This is something very special IMHO. So many outstanding variants of a really great system. Each one with its own flavor & style that really help to enhance your game.

True20 all the way!

We left all else behind.

Everything from Star Wars to fantasy runs off of True20 now.

Spycraft v1 - without a doubt the best modern version of d20 there is (but I'm biased

)

More d20 standalone variants I really like:

Tony Digerolamo's Complete Mafia for d20 (Living Room Games)
OGL Horror (Mongoose Publishing)

I vote for Iron Heroes. Too bad support has largely dried up (minus any Fiery Dragon plans), and too bad Mearls didn't spend a few more months cleaning it up before going to print.

A note to all future publishers. If you want people to play your games, include pre-generated characters and a free starter adventure. Iron Heroes had two on its website, and it made for a perfect Saturday night. Most of us don't have time to make the characters, and most of us certainly don't have the time to generate an adventure.
