[QUOTE="Thondor, post: 4690038, member: 31955"] You can download a free version of[I] Star Frontiers [/I](an old space/sci-fi game by TSR) at starfrontiersman.com Havn't read through all of it myself but it seems interesting. There's also a number of 'currently' supported games that have 'quickstart' rules that you can download and get a fair bit of playability out of them. [I]Castles and Crusades[/I] (basically AD&D with a Unified system called SIEGE) It only features the classic 4 classes. [url]http://www.trolllord.com/cnc/ccqs.html[/url] I actually found that there is a fair bit of errors/inconsistencies in these rules, but with a discerning eye quite playable. [I]Lightspeed[/I] (a FUSION based sci-fi game. The quickstart rules try to corner you into playing space-rangers, there are a couple other options you could also download to expand that.) Lightspeed is menat to cover all the tropes of space games and I think it does it quite well. [url=http://www.lightspeed-rpg.com/index.html]Lightspeed[/url] [I]HARP[/I] (High Adventure RolePlaying) also has some kind of quickstart rules. I really havn't looked at them though. [url=http://www.harphq.com]HARP[/url] check the 'free downloads' menu and look for HarpLite Speaking of Lite [I]MicroLite d20[/I] is pretty awesome if all you want to do is play a really simple version of D&D 3e ish (that eliminates Vancian magic by the way) recommend downloading the Microlite d20 Purest Essence [url]www.microlited20.net[/url] (just scroll down) [/QUOTE]
