[QUOTE="MMORPGAddict, post: 5965878, member: 48894"] This looked to be the best forum for this question. There are so many games out now, with tons of new systems and indies all around, that I've been unable to keep up with it all. We've been playing 4e for a year or so, and 3.5 before that for a long time. Our Monday night gaming GM (i.e. me) has burned out on elves, fairies, and low tech, and I've decided to run a modern / future game. I have the initial story arc well in hand, but I'm having a Hell of a time finding a game system to use. Here are my requirements: 1. MUST have a good character builder available. And by good, I mean that my lazy players must be able to generate a character within 10 minutes from starting. 2. Character builder must run on a PC, and if a version of it will run on an Android tablet, that's an added bonus. 3. We're not looking for a miniatures simulation. D&D 4e was a bit too miniature-rules-heavy and roleplay-light for us. Combat between 6 people should not take 45 minutes to resolve. (I've heard about time shortcuts that folks use; they didn't work for our group.) 4. My personal preference would be for a game that supports multiple tech levels innately, so that I don't have to house rule every piece of alien tech. I'm currently considering adapting Shadowrun, GURPS 4e Space (although I'm skeptical of the character builder and I could find no demo for it), or revisiting some version of Traveller. We tried some guy's home-built D20 modern adaptation for 4e, and hated the underlying D20 Modern rules it was built to mimic. I'd prefer nothing like D20 nor 4e. Anyone have suggestions for us? Any input will be appreciated :) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
