[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9291383, member: 6901101"] Interesting to note, and I very rarely share this, but I feel a open about it at this time. During the EQ reign, I visited headquarters several times with a beta EQ TTRPG. (My friend worked for the company.) It was card based, and I got so far as to have several of the medium level corporates play it in their boardroom. Things were really looking good, and of course, me being a TTRPGer was ecstatic. Then, SOE sold EQ. And immediately, the two people that were interested and contacting me weekly were no longer with the company. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit devastated. I worked four straight summers on the game and put so many hours into it. People at the game store helped me playtest it for two and half years. Oh well, c'est la vie. On the bright side, I still run games in the system (it is no longer Norrath). I have run over a dozen campaigns, and as far as my GMing style goes, the system has evolved to work better with my lore anyway. I don't sell it or try to brag. But it is a ruleset I am proud of. And to this day, it has many elements that were my original thoughts, yet 5e, PF, and even newer systems coming out now use those same thoughts. So to answer the question, I do not know of an EQ system other than mine, which has changed so much, that it is now unrecognizable from EQ. ;) [/QUOTE]
