[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 4675709, member: 43283"] Sorta late responding here... been trying to sort out a bunch of stuff this past month with having made an international move. It's nice to see someone else is grooving on Everstone. If you happen to run a game, post something about it. As I've said before, it's got some quirks but it's a perfectly functional game as it is. It's also pretty nice being a "standalone" game; you really can run the game using nothing more than the Everstone book. BESMd20... I'm not sure how you'll like it. I thought it had/has some potential, but I wasn't wild about some of the things like skill based combat. Everstone shifting the rules back part way towards the usual d20 approach was good I felt. If you can get the BESMd20 cheap, it's probably worth having. There were a couple of bits in Everstone (I can't remember right now off the top of my head) that seemed a bit curious, but made sense when I looked at my Stingy Gamer's edition. In theory, the spells were all done using the BESMd20 rules. I tried working out the costs on one or two of them, but it wasn't exactly intuitive to me how they got from the start to the 3 rank (for many of them) costs. I'd also like to rather belatedly thank jdrakeh for the link to the Anime SRD. I knew about Evil Hat's version, but liked linking to the GoO one since they had the rtf version in case someone wanted to mess with it. But the Evil Hat one is a nice enough pdf of it. Everstone and the d20 version of the Lone Wolf game are still my two favorite implementations of the d20 rules. [/QUOTE]
