[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 1661842, member: 18280"] First off: Why is there no [B][I]d20 Doctor Who[/I][/B][I][/I]? :cool: Second: While I think WotC did an excellent job with SW d20, and Decipher did a fairly good job with Star Trek, I find ST [B][I]a lot[/I][/B] harder to find. And, as a store owner, I find it a lot harder to [B][I]stock[/I][/B]. These books have to be kept in print, people! :eek: I tried to get the creature book for ST through Diamond Comics Distributors, and [B][I]even though they confirmed my order[/I][/B], I never got it. :] I agree that ST and SW require special mechanics, but so does every world/universe if it is distinct. [I]Call of Cthulhu[/I] needs madness. SW needs Force-based skills and powers. ST needs a ship combat system that includes hits to Decks A-E and targetting warp reactors. ST also needs a system (like the d20 SW) that takes into account eras of play. I have run SW d20, and I would love to run a Trek game using the same basic mechanic. But I want a world sourcebook, and a creature sourcebook, that deal with everything from [I]all[/I] of the series and [I]all [/I] of the movies. I want era notes for time travel adventures, and NPC stats for the major players of all series (including Harcourt Fenton Mudd -- basically, if the character shows up in two or more episodes, or as a major character, I want the stat block). Data may have been the only android in Starfleet (up to the end of [I]Next Generation[/I], anyway), but there were definately other androids in Federation space. Arguably, one should be able to play an exocomp or a medusian. :) (pause to catch my breath) Anyway, if they built it, and kept it in print, then I'd be happy to buy it. And stock it. And sell it. But I'd still take [I][B]Doctor Who[/B][/I] as my first choice. RC [/QUOTE]
