[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8226757, member: 6802378"] My opinion is after to create the ultimate D&D system Wizards wants to create the ultimate d20 system for all the genres: survival horror, pulp, sci-fi, superheroes... but here the challenge is to find a right power balance when the PCs can become too powerful with high-tech gadgets. Let's remember Resident Evil or Evil Within when the PCs is too weak and he has to hide and when he finds enough weapons and ammo to be an one-man-army. A d20 sci-fi RPG is totally possible, of course, and Star Wars d20 is one of the best examples, but to design a d20 Modern 2.0. 100% retrocompatible with D&D 5th Ed is a too radical challenge for game designers. If you try a "crossover" with the adaptation of different franchises you can notice d20 Street Fighters can't defeat d20 Overwatch team, or fighters from d20 Mortal Kombat couldn't survive easily an invasion of monsters from d20 Doom. Do you remember the mecha B.R.U.T.E. in Fortnite: Battle Royal? A dinosaur could be a serious challenge for Conan the Barbarian, king Arthur or Tarzan, but Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers only would need a shot by his ray-gun. In the first movie "Alien: the eight passenger" one xenomorph was enough to kill almost all Nostromo's crew, but in the sequel they could kill dozens, maybe hundreds, from other room thanks the "sentinel turrets".
