[QUOTE="scourger, post: 5831224, member: 12328"] No, it's not you. I love the idea that d20 is a generic system, but my players never really embraced it. We did play some Star Wars, Judge Dredd and other d20 derivative games; but they were almost all pretty short-lived. The best success we had was with Omega World. But, I doubt we'll be going back to anything d20 any time soon. I would kind of like to do so, but I just don't see it happening due to a general lack of interest. We've had much better multi & cross genre success with Savage Worlds. Perhaps because it is not tied strongly to a genre-specific setting as d20 is with its particular brand of fantasy. Also, the players can take their characters to different genres. That seems to help a lot. That should be something you could do with d20, but the classes may get in the way a bit. The best advice I can offer is to make it D&D plus other elements. Find what motivates you as a DM & storyteller and then join it to what motivates the players to play their characters. [/QUOTE]
