[QUOTE="ShaneHenry, post: 167466, member: 2021"] In response to various posts in this thread: 1) I wish the d20 Middle-earth and Star Trek fan conversion teams the best, but I don't think d20 gamers should fret over the 'loss' of two great settings to Decipher's upcoming Coda system. Lemme share a secret: Coda is essentially 'Icon d20'. It uses 2d6 instead of a d20. 2) As far as d20 Chinese fantasy/wuxia goes (Crouching Tiger was mentioned)...Pramas said in an interview that he hopes to get the license for Green Ronin to do d20 Dragon Fist eventually. Plus, looks like Atlas might be testing the waters for d20 Feng Shui with its 'Burning Shaolin' dual-stat Coriolis adventure. 3) In regards to d20 Aliens, not only has the Predator universe been linked to Aliens, but also the Terminator universe (in the 'Aliens vs. Predator vs. Terminator' comic). It'd be more interesting and substantive to have a single rpg combining all three licenses than any of them by themselves. Lastly, here's some of my faves (I am occasionally known to allow nostalgia to cloud my judgement :o ): d20 City of Lost Children d20 Blackmoor (Blackmoor was the world-hopping Freeport of its day...heck, any setting that exists in *three* old-school worlds [Greyhawk, Mystara, and the JG's City-State] deserves the full 3e treatment) d20 Mystara/Known World/Hollow World/Red Steel/Savage Coast (I suggest licensing it to John Nephew's Atlas Games, since he did good work on the original setting) d20 Frank Mentzer's Urt (pre-Gazetteer Mystara, using the 'wrong' world map from the 'black box' Master set) d20 Frank Mentzer's Aquaria d20 Ærth (at least we'll have Necropolis 3e, and Bastion Press' Dangerous Journeys ESDs in the meantime. While Gygax is at it, he might as well send up Yarth and Uerth too) d20 Hyrule (Get that whole PnP-CRPG synergy thang goin') d20 Marvel and DC (*using the same rules*) d20 Dragonball (the Fuzion 'adventure game' is fluff) d20 Transformers (I suppose Mongoose or somebody would then go for the Go-bots license :rolleyes: ) d20 Masters of the Universe (throw in the Princess of Power license too ;) ) d20 Gauntlet (Like Diablo, Gauntlet is the essence of dungeoncrawling. By the way, am I the only one who thinks d20 Diablo got the short shrift on EN World's website?) d20 Smurfs (I want to play a purple tail-biting smurf :mad: ) d20 Doctor Snuggles! :D Shane [/QUOTE]
