[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3307576, member: 172"] I've heard of more Serenity games using alternate systems than Serenity games using the installed system. I think Farscape is an example of what I speak of in post #47. But I don't see SG-1 as an implicit counter example you claim it is. As far as I could tell, it was pretty well implemented and received by all but the d20-hatah subset. As long as we are talking about installed fanbases, I think one needs to take into account the existing fanbase. Rokugan's d20 adaptation, unlike Farcape's, was very good. Despite this, it was a disaster, because it didn't sit well with the existing fan base. To an installed fan-base, system is not secondary. But when drawing from a fanbase of franchise fans without an installed system (yet), the fans are more system agnostic. Now apply this to the actual topic at hand. IK's pedigree lies in D20. It started out as a d20 adventure. I think Privateer would do well to take a look at what happened with L5R when they switched systems pursuing a different audience for their RPG. How's that? If you don't use the d20 logo, you only have to make Open Content what started as open content. Mongoose has used this publishing model for a while. [/QUOTE]
