(mainly I beefed up the classes to Star Wars Revised standards and then supplemented the Action Point system with Adventure's dramatic edit system), and I've run Singapore Sling using Modern and Future d20 (I recreated the craziness of Transhuman space by using also adding some of Star Wars Revised and S&S Gamma World into the mix).  And we would play Mongoose Paranoia as a space filler.  Then I moved again and played a few Modern and Pendragon games and a long running 3.5e game that didn't trip my buttons so I quit.  I have an off and on long distance D&D 3.5e game using Rogue Mistress from Stormbringer as the basis for the adventure.  And I occasionally play a few rounds of 4e with the local RPGAers, but its all been combat.</blockquote>
