[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9626375, member: 52734"] Well, for Transformers (& GI Joe), Renegade has done fairly well with their system, and I like their system better than straight-up 5E (it's a mix of Alternity/Cortex & D&D). Several times I have considered using Renegade's game system for D&D itself. 40K has Wrath & Glory and I am FINE with that never being 5E - it's got its own dice pool system and I think it works great for properly setting that world to match its fiction. Trying to make 40K/WHFB a 5E system would be a huge disservice, IMHO. ...And that's another big thing. I think 5E is lousy for certain game types (especially modern/future); it's why I like West End D6 Star Wars over any D20 iteration, for example. D&D's class system and exponential level growth just doesn't match with some properties. I very much remember the days of the d20 glut and the attempt to turn every game into a D&D/D20 version and there were a lot that just didn't work well in a D&D framework. Everyday Heroes took a stab at being "modern 5E" and has several world books - Pacific Rim, King Kong, Escape From New York and several others that could all be 5E universes, I suppose. But, I have the base EveryDay Heroes books and gave a stab at running it, but my players didn't really like that system. Sometimes, a bespoke system just does a property better. [/QUOTE]
