[QUOTE="applecross, post: 7283564, member: 6893952"] I’ll just put these out here, because they aren’t as popular as other systems but I think they have their own merits, even though they aren’t universal systems. Pacesetter Titles (Goblinoid Games), Cryptworld, Rotworld, Majus. They all share an old skool d100 roll, skills based chargen and a result table mechanic. It’s simple yet allows for variety. The specific settings rules deal with monsters, zombies and magic respectively, but to me those can be used as bolt ons. Conspiracy X 2nd ed. Focuses on conspiracies but works well in modern day generic settings. Setting is great. D10 mechanic, medium crunch. Think X Files on steroids. Had a lot of fun being a KGB undercover cigar smoking gun toting maniac. Has some weird stuff because it was conceived when the internet/smartphones weren’t a thing, buts I think it adds to the experience. Cold Steel Wardens by Blackfall Press. This is meant to simulate Iron Age Comics. In reality it’s a fantastic modern day system with a d10 pool system. Weapon section is great and the combat is gritty. :):):):) hurts! Tone down or remove the powers and you got a great shootout simulator. It has both physical and mental strain so you can’t tank your way out. Wanna play Punisher or Watchmen feeling? This is it. Covert Ops by DwD Studios. New flavour for old fun. D00Lite System: percent roll target number or lower. Player made organisations and bases. Lots of customisation. Careers/classes instead of skills, involved char creation. I hope these unusual options help. [/QUOTE]
