[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2959345, member: 14159"] I wish this was a multiple choice poll. d20 Star Wars: It's what I'd run if I had my choice. I've got a lot of plot ideas I'd like to run, it's a setting that pretty much everybody knows so you don't have to spend a lot of time briefing the players on the intricacies of the setting (like a lot of sci-fi RPG's). The old d6 Star Wars was good (I ran a year long campaign of it), but it really, really doesn't work well for long-term campaigns as d6 breaks down horribly as characters advance. d20 Babylon 5: It does a real good job capturing the feel of Babylon 5, and with the right group of players could be excellent. d20 Modern+Future: I'm playing in an adaptation of Star Frontiers to d20 M+F right now, so It's what I'm now using, and I like d20 modern as an engine, but Star Frontiers isn't my ideal choice of setting (we're running through the old published modules, and dang, those modules were written poorly, and for a sci-fi/space opera type game, there is remarkably little space combat. My original character concept was for a starfighter pilot, until the GM told me that in all the pubilshed modules there was almost no ship-to-ship combat). LUG Trek. I liked Last Unicorn's version of Star Trek, the best Star Trek RPG I've seen made (over FASA, Decipher, and the several versions of Prime Directive). I voted for Star Wars, because that's what I'd run if I had to choose one, but it's a hard choice to make. [/QUOTE]
