Which game is the most fun?

[Plane Sailing]

I haven't played any of them, and so voted accordingly, but I've got d20 future and I'd never use it (not even as a base for something else), and I've heard so many positive things about WFRP that I'd definitely go in that direction.

d20 Future and WFRP are tied in my opinion. I picked d20 Future as I so rarely get to play Sci-Fi, and can get anyone to play a fantasy game.

D20 Future appears to be the most flexible, I'm using it as the base system for a module at the upcoming Boston ENWorld Game Day. I picked it since the game will include characters from multiple Science Fiction universes so needed a system that different types of characters could be created in.

Savage Worlds. Theres something about the card based system that seems to make the game all that more fun.

Not sure what you mean by setting, but only WFRP actually has a (fixed) setting from those three.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. . .

The reason I ask? I'm putting together a mini-campaign for when my Eberron game ends, and I want it to be non d20. And I'm curious to know about the good and bad about each product.

If you're trying to get away from D&D-esque D20, I'd stay away from D20 Future. It's alot like D&D and I find that the rules aren't really well translated into a futuristic setting.

Seems to be a couple non-d20 options missing from that poll.

Glaring omissions (to me at least) are...
- HERO system
- AEG's Roll'n'Keen for Legend of 5 Rings (particularly 3rd edition) and 7th Seas
- WEG's d6 system

Of the various non-d20 systems I've played, I've probably had the most fun with d6 (due to Star Wars). Deadlands Classic was also a hoot, so I guess you could say I'm predisposed to Savage Worlds since that was based on the Deadlands system.

I have played a lot of WFRP and I really like the system and setting. However I just recently played Savage Worlds for the first time (the Low Life setting, which was GREAT) and I LOVE the mechanics. If you're doing a short campaign and don't want to delve too deeply into rules mechanics then I might lean towards Savage Worlds.

I've also run a lot of d20 Modern in my Sky Galleons of Mars games and I like the system overall but I am starting to feel like other systems could do it as well or better based on the setting.

if you want my opinion on what you should play next.

OD&D(1974) is the only true game.
