[QUOTE="Chosen23, post: 213254, member: 4924"] Yeah, but there you have what's so great about Spycraft. It is it's own innovative use of the d20 system, so much so that it doesn't feel like any other d20 game. One of my groups feel like they have been flooded with d20 material and now want to play anything but. The only exception to this is Spycraft, because when you play it, it doesn't feel like a d20 game. I was messing around with the Mastermind system the other day and I forgot it even WAS d20. For a good d20 game, I feel it should be able to stand up on its own, be innovative, shiny and new compared to other games. It's just lazy depending on the d20 system for all of your game mechanics. At least AEG have added and removed certain bits and pieces. On this note and to legitimise my rant I just have to add that I forgot a crucial game on my list: Farscape RPG. AEG have done so well with making Spycraft different from your run-of-the-mill d20 system game that I'm sure Farscape will be just as good. Chosen23 [/QUOTE]
