[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 3274309, member: 3608"] I tried for a long time to do this. I bought [i]The Wheel of Time[/i], the d20 [i]Star Wars[/i], the d20 [i]Call of Cthulhu[/i], & two d20 [i]Sovereign Stone[/i] books in hopes of steal...er...borrowing ideas from them. (Altho' we actually played SW, & we were going to play WoT before the guy who was going to run left the group.) I got really frustrated with it, though. I then pulled out my Gurps books & found it much easier for me to bend it to my wishes. That all got side-tracked, though, when I got interested in exploring back-to-basics (classic Traveller & classic D&D) & "rule-light" games ([i]Fudge[/i], [i]Risus[/i], LA, [i]Prince Valiant[/i], [i]Buck Rogers High Adventure Cliffhangers[/i], [i]Dungeon Squad[/i], &c.) But now with the d20 UA & True20 & such, I'm considering attempting a "d20 fantasy" game at some point. But on the other hand, I've got the current classic D&D campaign to run, a LotRs campaign to revisit, a classic D&D "epic quest" I want to run, &c. Plus, I hope to spend some time [i]not[/i] in the judge's seat before doing all of those things. So, I suspect it'll be a while before I get around to it. [b]An aside:[/b] I've been a ENWorld member for a long time.
