I prefer STA1 to STA2 overall. I wanted to get a copy of LUG Dune but never managed to. Nor have I ever played FASA or LUG Trek. FASA seems to have all the nittanoid rules that an '80s vintage game has that tries to simulate everything. I think it's got cool source material but my feeling is that like most games of its era it doesn't actually emulate the feeling of the show well, something that STA does. Interesting. I think I'd just add that back into the game even if it's not there. I only played Fallout a bit but I didn't like its level system, which to me doesn't feel like a good match to 2D20. I've never done solo play so I can't comment. If I want to play something solo I usually break out a video game. I ran a bit of Conan and did a one shot John Carter. I really wanted to like Conan but felt it had some good ideas but overall was way too crunchy for what it was trying to do. I also think, ironically, that Conan doesn't really make a great TTRPG. REH Conan's such a lone wolf that it rubs with the ensemble cast nature of TTRPGs. If they'd modeled it more on the movies, ironically, it might have been better, especially the first movie. I've also run Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20; it does a great job of getting a pulp feel. One of the biggest things I'll say about 2D20: It reads strangely but it plays really well once you get the hang of it. Critics who've only read the game don't really understand that.</blockquote>
