[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 4507044, member: 34175"] Thanks for all your help everyone (and I REALLY mean it.) So far, [B]True 20[/B] is good, but still a little too much for what I'm looking for. I can honestly say while I enjoyed playing 3.X I hated the system and the d20/OGL off shoots are all a far cry from what I'm looking for. [B]WHFRP[/B] - while this system is close to what I'm looking for, I'm not really keen on the career paths, but that isn't a total deal breaker - the jury is still out. [B]EABA[/B] doesn't really work for me - d6 systems are just too wonky in my experience (with WEG Star Wars being an exception), but definitely a step up from GURPS [B]Pathfinder [/B]- yet another series of disappointments from Paizo. I must really be old school because, I can't understand why they keep winning awards, I haven't ever seen anything from them that I like. *shrugs* [B]BRP [/B]- Probably as close as I'm going to get in one shot. May have to make a few mods, but it's all there, simple stats, percentile skills. I'm picking this up. [B]Basic Fantasy RPG[/B] is pretty good, a little light on the skills I'm looking for, but about as close to stripped down 1eAD&D as you can get (right down to the XP charts for the classes). Not what I'm looking for, but a great source of material if I plan on writing this thing. [B]MINIMUS[/B] - is a real find. This might be a winner, however, the 'cool' trumps realism has me a little concerned. I was the only person I know who didn't like "Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon" because people can't fly and I don't care how good his hearing is, he can't dodge arrows. Also, only because it's pure fantasy can I stand watching MATRIX, otherwise all the super moves make me ill. (Yes, I'm picky) I haven't had a chance to look at Savage Worlds yet, but if it's as good as what y'all make out to be, it may be a winner. Again - thanks for all the help, it's great to be pointed in the right direction instead of just stabbing in the dark. [/QUOTE]
