Well, over time I have grown used to keep the game mechanics as they are (no houserules). However, I do add classes and feats form other sources, adapt modules from different games, combines settings, etc. Let me tell you about my 4 campaign settings:Science-Fiction: I will use OGL Cybernet + d20 Modern  d20 Future for a campaign based on the GURPS Transhuman Space setting. As it wasn't enough tweaked, I added several races (essentially genetically altered humans), plus another GURPS setting Alpha Centauri. All in all this is the least modified of my d20 games... until I have finished my writing of a d20 sci-fi lite game.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> Call of Cthulhu d20: I will use d20 CoC, Grim Tales, and Dreamland + Mesopotamia Ancient Kingdom totally adapted to Earth (Iraq) in 1935, for a campaign that could be summarized as "Indiana Jones meets Cthulhu". Of course, I am preparing a document in which creating characters is slightly modified from Grim Tales, and gets new talents and feats.Warhammer: I got the World of Warhammer atlas. I will use Grim Tales for rules, but also adds some non-spellcasting classes from D&D 3.5 and AU, and tweak the races. Then, I add stuff from Medieval Player's Manual so there is no pantheon of deities, but a monotheistic religion of Law against the gods of Chaos. I have also an history magazine detailing many cities of Europe during the middle age that I will use in this game.Dragonlance: It's basic D&D 3.5. However, I decided to add many character classes from Arcana Unearthed (converted to 3.5) and Unearthed Arcana, plus replace a race by another. In addition, I introduce the 3.5 psionics, just telling it is some sort of innate magical abilities (rather than "psionics") of elves and Irda.  Then, I will mix sevral aspect of various periods of Krynn, running the classic War of the Lance adventures in the Age of Mortals with serious tweakings.  It appears that I am absolutely unable to use gaming material as it was intended to be used in the first place. I cannot but adapt, tweak, modify, and mess everything. I guess I am suffering from some rare sort of neurosis?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Anyway, what about you?</blockquote>
