[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2338937, member: 12332"] Well I think you missed my point. It's THERE. It's EASY. It may not be what you would personally like for a campaign, but it'd work for a bunch of guys who decided they wanted to play, oh, "Firefly" one weekend with almost no pre-planning or prep. It's there, the rules are very similar to rules people with d20M already know, it's basically just "Really Big Creatures With Really Big Guns". Same with the Mecha rules. Just like playing 20th level Giants, really. But that's the beauty of it. Hell if I'd use any of it for a CAMPAIGN ... but for gaming? I think there's alot of value in that. There's alot of stuff right there in that one book that can just be pulled out and used ... "Man, we should do Dark Angel the RPG!" Done. "We should do Mecha!" Got it. "Firefly!" Got it. It's not pretty, but it works. And if you're only going to play any certain game a few times, then why would you spend lots of money on the "perfect books" or alot of time making the "perfect system"? --fje [/QUOTE]
