[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 1948841, member: 23012"] Yes Feng Shui is a good game, but my impression is that the original poster Galeros was looking for something very similar to D&D, but just simpler than the 3e version. In that case, Feng Shui is probably not a good bet. In contrast, a system like C&C or Unisystem (say, AFMBE with the new "Dungeons and Zombies" sourcebook) might be a better bet. They both resemble 3e in many respects (C&C moreso than Unisystem, but Unisystem has feat-like features and skills for players who like those), while being much simpler and faster than 3e (but nonetheless still 'complete', and thus not requiring 'ad hoc' rulings like, say, OD&D). Remember: many people like D&D, but prefer faster and lighter systems. Games like C&C and Unisystem (and perhaps others) are available to satisfy that demand. They obviously will not 'replace' 3e D&D's position as 'king of the hill'. But they are, IMO, very good systems that satisfy a segment of the gaming market. [/QUOTE]
