Another endorement: I have hacked together many one-shots using only Grim Tales, d20 Modern Core Book, & BESMd20. These three books fulfilled all of my d20 needs for quite a while. More recently, my interests have spread to simpler/indie systems & retro old-school, but if you want d20, get...

I have often used BESMd20Rev as a toolkit to build things for other games (mecha, wierd creatures, etc). In this way, I as GM control the "balance" and tweak the rules to fit with other systems. I'll admit that I've never really had any desire to run it as is. However, many exotic one-shots...

OK, I was trying to be realistic for the sake of my own shelf-clearing. To be a little more fanciful, I'd lean towards: 1 Printed & Bound d20 SRD 2 Ptolus 3 WLD 4 M&M2e 5 Traveller T20 6 Spycraft 2.0 In a pinch, I could use all of the paper for kindling or TP & run Risus or Wushu from memory...

It's the end of the year again and time to re-assess what I am actually playing or want to play in the near future. To help evaluate and purge the current game shelf, I often turn to the "cast away" scenario. You are about to be indefinitely stranded on a remote island with gamer pals...

After the core, I'd suggest: WOTC Unearthed Arcana (I consider this the "4th Core") WOTC Spell Compendium WOTC Magic Item Compendium (coming in 2007) Bad Axe Games's Grim Tales Bastions Press's Arms & Armor 3.5 (more fanciful than Monkey God's From Stone to Steel) Green Ronin's Advanced...

QLI had been working on an Honorverse version of T20, but AFAIK it's vapor now. I'm not sure where the rights stand. You may want to check with Hunter Gordon at QLI: travellerrpg.com.

They are doing this. It's the Star Wars Saga Edition.

Traveller T20 (core system) Traveller's Guidebook playtest files (enhanced chargen) d20 Modern (creatures and odds & ends) Grim Tales (some Action Point options) BESM d20 (a really weird creature build) I rarely do full-blown d20 anymore unless it's T20, but I still find that I can do anything...

My first instinct is to use T20 (or CT or Hard Nova 2 or Grim Tales/Future). For the pure D&D crowd, I would probably just take Blood & Space One, add settings from pop-space-opera pastiche, and season to taste. If I wanted to add real grit, I would also use Grim-n-Gritty 4.0 which has...
