[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 5957168, member: 27103"] If you want to stick to D20 systems, Mutants and Masterminds with the supplements that Dannyalcatraz mentioned or D20 modern would probably be your best bet. If you want to branch out and try a different system, you've got a number of good options: FATE System (among other options, Dresden Files does modern occult, Legends of Anglerre does D&D style fantasy, Strands of Fate is usable in modern, fantasy, or sci fi genres) Savage Worlds is good for any genre, and it should be easy to switch between the times. World of Darkness has a lot of supplements for modern occult games, although the newer books don't have any supplement particular to medieval times that I'm aware of (someone mentioned in a thread that the Mirrors supplement has some information on running a fantasy style game), the old World of Darkness had Vampire Dark Ages and Mage the Sorceror's Crusade. The system should be easy enough to alter to fit into a medieval fantasy game without any supplements, though, basically just a few skill changes and removing/modifying a few benefits/drawbacks and equipment and you should be good to go. GURPS should work, particularly as you already have the book. I haven't played it, so I can't speak much about it. HERO System is ideal for playing any genre, and has supplements for modern games (Dark Champions, despite the name, is good for any modern HERO game) and fantasy games (Fantasy HERO in particular). The 6th edition books are more recent, but the 5th edition books can usually be found online for cheaper, and the system works just fine. [/QUOTE]
