Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thunderfoot" data-source="post: 4501100" data-attributes="member: 34175">I am officially fed up with D&D and it's combat based system.  I'm looking for something that is more skills based and with an emphasis on role-playing rather than combat.  Preferably similar to the old Star Trek RPG by FASA.I have a basic version written up myself based on it, but if it already exists, I don't want to reinvent the wheel.What I am looking for:Rules Light!  - and I mean very light, less than 100 pages of material for all books combined wo9uld be super.Skill based - where actions outside of combat require more than just a glossing over.Combat variable - not the center of the stage, but easily integrated into the system.Not GURPS - sorry I don't like GURPS, not elegant and too many rules (in the latest edition)Other information: Does not have to be a generic system, but that would be a bonus.  Monster design is quick and painless.  Magic can be scaled to near non-existence without destroying the system.  Not level based (but this isn't necessarily a deal breaker.).I like running historically based anachronistic style games, where real world history can be altered slightly to make the world more believable.  I don't like total reliance on magic (of any type) to make the system usable, but like  having the option to make it available.  Don't mind systems where classes are not "equal" just so everyone is the same (PC don't work for me).  Can be modified to suit any unknowns, similar in make up to the original 1eAD&D, but with much less rule finagling. Does this system even exist or should I start working on my generic translation of the old FASA system?  Thanks for any help.</blockquote>
