[QUOTE="LilCthulhu, post: 2444566, member: 26146"] MERP: I really liked the realistic approach to the game, how a simple "low-level" could actually killed a high-leveled character or monster if very lucky ;) WEG's Star Wars: So simple mechanics, very space operish... I prefer it to the d20 version. But I actually sold all my books because we're not as much in SW now adays... the prequels being not that great ( ep3 was good though ), but I must admit that I was eager to try again after seeing the IMPS: Relentless fan movie ;)... The original Babylon5 RPG: Yep, I actually liked the mechanics of rolling two sets of dice, one positive, the other negative... I should put my hand on Moongoose's d20 version. The original Sovereign Stone RPG: I liked the approach to statistics... have a 1d4 in strenght and a 1d20 in dexterity ;)... although statistically, it was not perfect... We currently play the d20 version and I like the approach on spell with casting threshold and the ORKS are way to cool to play ;) Cyberpunk: As a player, I had a blast... Dragonlance Saga System: Actually a nice system. Playing with cards, involved a lot of strategy and planning... the Magic system held on a single sheet... Instead of spells, you somehow controlled the element and could write any spell :) Very neat... Call Of Cthulhu: Both version... best d20 manual I bought, best non-class-system... The sanity version in d20 does feel awkward to players... and somehow they hate throwing those d100 sanity checks... feels weird against a d20 system :)... The original is neat/simple. --- I'd like to put my hands on Midnight 2.0, Spycraft 2.0 and BlueRose's True20 systems to see what's out there... but so far, considering d20.. I'm sticking to CoC for everything... One book to rule them out... [/QUOTE]
