[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2448873, member: 1165"] I prefer D20 Modern to Spycraft 1.0 by a lot. However, Spycraft 2.0 previews in the other thread indicate that AEG has fixed at least some of the things I didn't like about Sp 1.0, such as armor entirely removing Defense. I will probably still go with D20 Modern (I like those flexible classes too much, and I didn't like how Sp 1.0 has 1001 classes) but I'll at least follow Sp 2.0 reviews to see if I'm missing something positive or negative about the new system. I noticed a couple of mentions of FX rules. I don't particularly care, but some people do. I know Spycraft has some kind of FX rules, they're just not in the core rules. (They use vp as spell points, which I don't like, but some people like such a system.) As for firearms, I think Spycraft has better feats, but I don't ever want to see a weapon do 5d4 damage again. No, really, follow the KISS rule. It seems to me that AEG really does support Spycraft more than WotC supports D20 Modern. It's not the number of products in itself, but I would really like to see someone officially write a D20 Modern non-FX setting. (I've only seen two so for - Colombia D20 and Haven, but maybe Blood & Buts counts.) I'd like to see free D20 Modern adventures like the ones at the Living Spycraft site so I wouldn't have to be forever converting Spycraft adventures to D20 Modern, or something like Modus Operandi for D20 Modern.
