[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 1942809, member: 2673"] Are you hooked to fantasy? There's a lot more rules-light stuff in other genres than in fantasy at the moment. I think this may be due to d20 - I mean if you want to make a fantasy RPG book, do you make your own rules light system and go broke, or make it d20 and actually sell? Well, its not that bad, but if you're making fantasy stuff you might as well get in on the d20 market. My favorite at the moment is Unisystem. They have a variety of games you can get the skinny on [url=http://www.edenstudios.net/]here[/url]. There's All Flesh Must Be Eaten, where you play survivors after hordes of zombies take over the world. Witchcraft is a game of magic in the modern age, and Armageddon takes place in a fantasic setting where the last remnants of humanity battle against the forces of darkness. The Buffy and Angel games are *very* well produced and feature an even lighter ruleset. You could even kitbash together a Unisystem fantasy game with AFMBE and the Dungeons & Zombies suppliment. Or if you don't mind a little conversion work there's d20 Modern conversion in the back of the core book. If you want to check out Unisystem, the good folks at Eden have put up the Witchcraft corebook as a [url]http://www.edenstudios.net/witchcraft/WitchcraftCorebook.zip[/url]free download.[/url] Another lighter choice is the new World of Darkness from White Wolf. This isn't the Vampire and Werewolf of the old days. In the nWoD, you start with the core WoD book. This lets you play mortals in a supernatural world. If you want to do vampire, you get the vampire book. The system has been simplified and cleaned up, and is a great book overall. I've heard good things about Savage Worlds as well, but you'll have to google that up. Not played it myself. -- more to gaming than D&D maddman [/QUOTE]
