Science Fiction games (except Star Wars, which isn't science fiction) rely heavily on having deeper and more specialized skill lists: tell me, how do you think D&D's skill system is going to handle Alternity's skill lists?The D&D 5e class/skill system... would handle Gamma World 8e, as long as it wasn't based on Alternity, though I'll reiterate my preference that WotC not do that. It's not going to wrap itself around Star•Drive or Dark Matter or even StarCraft. And when system and setting collide at Wizards of the Coast, only the system is left standing; the survival of the setting, if it is even considered desirable, is incidental.</blockquote>
