[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7458627, member: 19675"] Hmmm...somehow, I forgot [I]Torg[/I]. Plus, a [I]Gamma World[/I]/[I]AD&D[/I] fusion- especially using stuff from “S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks” would actually work pretty well. But if I wasn’t going to use [I]HERO[/I] to do something like this today, I’d probably look hardest at [I]The Cyper System[/I] or WoD games. Umbran’s suggestion of [I]Alternity[/I] would probably be good too- I haven’t seen the new version, but I hear good things. I suppose what works best for YOU and YOURS depends largely on: 1) what system feels comfortable 2) what flavor of sci-fantasy fusion you’d want to run. A mash-up between things your group finds cool will start a positive feedback loop. Those factors will do a lot towards getting player buy-in. Best campaign I ever ran was a supers game set in the Space:1889 setting using [I]HERO[/I], with all kinds of things thrown in. Player buy-in was total. That campaign lasted years. But when I tried essentially the same thing a 2 decades later using [I]Mutants & Masterminds 2nd[/I] as the system engine, it was a complete flop. It crashed & burned in months, for a variety of reasons (including my own screw-ups). Just because [I]I[/I] think an Adam Strange/Flash Gordon type setting with some low-magic fantasy or sci-fant elements- “Jedis”, psionics, TK/PK, Clairvoyants, Illusionists, Shapechangers, Healers, etc., would cool doesn’t mean anyone else will.
