Alternity was a very well-designed game that never got its fair shake. I wish WotC would sell it off to another company that would give it a new home.
I like the concept behind SAGA, but I ran into some problems with mechanics in that game, especially with the Dragonlance line. Two reasonably competent combatants could fight for hours on end without scoring a single hit because of the combat difficulty system. Also, some monsters were literally unbeatable. Older dragons, for example, just could not be hurt without some amazing combination of trump cards and/or a dragonlance.
The other problem that I had with SAGA is that there was no way to replace lost cards. If I lose some dice, I can buy some new ones. If a handful of cards falls into a mud puddle, then I've just wrecked my game.
