[QUOTE="Sebastian Ashputtle, post: 1721789, member: 22019"] Like a lot of you in the earlier thread, I too am finding myself burned out on D&D. Unlike a lot of you, I'm also burned out on D20 Modern/D20 Future, both of which I have simply found to be very bland (unlike D&D, which ain't bland by a long shot!). The D20 Modern classes ("Smart", "Strong") and advanced classes ("Soldier", "Infiltrator") are dull, boring, blah. I loved D20 Future...for a week. Then I realized, "Hey, there's nothing else to read here." I don't know...both Modern and Future just don't do it for me. So I love D&D but I'm exhausted with it. I *wanted* to love Modern for over a year now, but I just can't. Future didn't help. What's a guy to do? Here's my solution: learn a new system. So I'm picking up GURPS Fourth Edition (I really enjoyed 3rd awhile back) and I just ordered a shiny new copy of the Alternity Dark*Matter campaign setting from eBay. Coming soon: my players will experience GURPS Dark*Matter. I'm already excited! :lol: By the way, I mean to offense to any fans of Modern/Future. Just sharing my own experiences with the game. And objectively, I *do* think it's a superb game...I just can't get excited about it. I *really* tried. But from Urban Arcana on it's been disappointing...feels like WotC puts all their energy into D&D, and Modern gets leftovers. :( Variety is the spice of RPGs, and I've found that one system (be it d20 or anything else) just isn't going to keep me happy.
