This makes it a bit trickier since I don't have a lot of hands-on experience with the listed systems (and really only surface knowledge about DC20 and MCDM).The main pitch based on my experience would be that, at least to me, Savage Worlds in many ways feels like a cleaned up and streamlined version of 3e. Rules are comprehensive and cover most situations, you have talents (edges) to customize your character, you advance in power over time, and you have a number of spelled-out options in combat. Compared to 3e, though, there is a lot less fiddly modifiers, you don't need to plan your characters ahead (though you can do that if you want), and you have good abstractions to handle more complex situations (dramatic tasks, chase tracks with cards). So for me, it's a lot easier to keep the relevant rules in my head when playing, and I feel combat is a lot less likely to get bogged down in options and drawn out over multiple hours. Also the power curve is flatter, so you don't go from farm boy to god killer, but rather from capable rookie to legendary (but skill killable) adventurer. This IMO makes planning and running campaigns a bit easier (compared to D&D campaigns going over 15 or even 20 levels).That being said, the feeling is distinct from D&D and I know a few players who strongly dislike Savage Worlds due to its uses of Bennies as a meta currency. If that's the case for the people in your group, then my proposed option is probably not a good one for your group.</blockquote>
