<t>Here's a list of d20 SF RPGs that I know of. I got inspired to put the list together as I was thinking of running Dawning Star with SS rules. Avoid all that talent tree and AdC nonsense. Aberrant (White Wolfs Trinity) Adventure (White Wolfs Trinity) Armageddon 208...

<r>Someone say Red Steel? LOL! Sigh. If only C&C had come before 3.0. I would have kept my old Mystra and Red Steel stuff! Obviously, it's one of the few settings that could have been run on the fly with CnC. sigh again. Don't let WotC know, but they ...

Pre 3.0, I always wanted to run a Gyth invasion, but it never came to be.

After the SRD, I've tooled around with Aboleth masterminds and minion races. Little did I know that Bad Axe Games did the work for me.

<t>Comparing CnC and True 20 is facinating for me. Both game designers had the same goal - a d20 system that would be streamlined and reduce GM prep at higher levels. Then they went at it from opposite ends. Green Ronin: reduced the number of classes, embraced feats. <br/...

<t>When I phoned my order in, they told me the shopping cart didn't work because they classified the items as out of stock in their system. I also found out some of the items in the special packs were gone, but they were willing to give me doubles to make up for it. Really, at that price,...

Demanding that Action Dice be spent only when the action is described in a swashbucking fashion is a simple rule that seemed to help my game.

Good stuff. Some of it is from the SRD, like Taint, and I like the idea of using the old subdual damage rules to represent heroic healing.

Depending on how cinematic you want to to be, I'd suggest giving a version of Action/Luck/Fate points a try.

<t>Welcome to the Crusade! If I assume you haven't read the Player's Guide yet, then you'll discover that unlike 3.5, the bard, paladin and ranger have no spell casting abilities, which already adds greatly to the feel of a low magic setting. With the lack of DR in CnC, it look...

I tried 3d6, re-roll 1s in any order. That seems quick and produced slightly above PCs.
