[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3917983, member: 710"] The system is adaptable - in that you can change it to suite your needs. But it's not an "out of the box" flexibility. (I am not sure though, if there actually exists a system that is that flexible. But I never looked deeper into GURPS and its supplements, which might succeed at that, or might not). If D&D is flexible, than so are most other games I have played so far. The new Warhammer game? Create two dozens new careers and a few new weapons, and you can have a modern or sci-fi setting. Shadowrun (probably all editions) - just remove cyberware, and you have a fantasy system, remove the magic and add space ship rules (which probably just means upgrading the rigging/vehicle rules), and you have a sci-fi system. D&D might have spawned the D20 system, but ultimately, the D20 system itself is the larger concept that allows us to create and adapt the game for other purposes. Warhammer could spawn a D% system, and Shadowrun a new [i]n[/i]D6 system, Storyteller a [i]n[/i]D. GURPS is already a system (3D6) in itself, I guess. [/QUOTE]
