[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 4387528, member: 43283"] You can also download the Red Leaf bits this way: [url]http://web.archive.org/web/20051217170930/www.netflash.net/llanade/redleafgames/downloads.php[/url] Besides Dr Spunj's system, and the Buy the Numbers (Point Buy Numbers for d20 Modern was a crappy re-hash of Buy the Numbers) there's not a whole lot out there actually. By and large the d20 community doesn't seem to have been interested in this. There's Eclipse which can be gotten in a "shareware" edition (pay $10 later) here: [url]http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=51255&filters=0_0_0&manufacturers_id=617[/url] There of course is also the Anime SRD which is the SRD for BESMd20. BESMd20 gets (or got) plenty of hate though. Mainly because it's got some different sensibilities when it comes to its rules; it expects a lot more discussion between player and GM and isn't up to the standards of "balance" that many d20 folks demand. You can still download the Anime SRD in rtf form here: [url]http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/animesrd.html[/url] To make sure it doesn't get lost I've got a copy of it and a couple of other bits uploaded to divShare. You can find the bits here: [url]http://www.divshare.com/download/4624454-4fd[/url] And the folks of Evil Hat host a pdf version that one of 'em did up back in the day.
