[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7311210, member: 6925649"] How about D20 Modern/D20 Future? That is what I have, the system is generic while the various Star Wars RPGs are not! Most science fiction role playing games are setting specific, but D20 Future does not have a specific setting, you can adapt it to whatever setting you want. I like it because its mechanic is similar and compatible with D&D 3.5 and thus by extension Pathfinder. Pathfinder has Starfinder, but they made the mistake of making it setting specific. I've tried Starfinder, but they watered down the science part of it too much and made it bend too much towards the fantasy component. GURPS is also another system, but I think it has too many books that you need to play the game. That is what I found. One time I had a whole shelf full of GURPS books and I attempted to play them game and I found that I kept on having to open up new book to get to the various rules I wanted. Overall I liked D20, it was simple enough and to the point and generic enough that it could be adapted to my purpose. My purpose was to turn Venus into a fantasy/science fiction world. I added a mechanic, two more different kinds of Armor classes, one for bullets, the other for energy attacks, and plain old AC for muscle-powered weapon attacks, including natural attacks from monsters.
