Nice.

On that line, I will throw in OSRIC.

Starship Troopers was really good.

Quote from: Endless Flight;671638I'll go with Star Wars Saga Edition.

I'll agree with this.

Conan d20, because of the magic system, the maneuvers and the excellent supplements they released. It is a pity its system was overlooked, but I still hope someone will bring it back via the OGL.

Mongoose actually had some very good d20 iterations. It's just that their editing was sloppy, so everyone made fun of them.

I'm a bit surprised to see all the love for Star Wars.  I tried several flavors of it as d20 and never really felt it was a good fit.

I enjoyed d20 Cthulu and a number of other d20 products. I also liked the OA material. Some fell flat though (d20 modern never really did it for me and wasn't that into d20 Ravenloft).

I have played and gmed starwars revised, and star wars saga system.

Both seemed fine to me, with saga being slightly better. Maybe.

But my prefered system for starwars is HERO.

The first version and revised were really shitty in my opinion, but Saga was good. It took the good parts of D20 Modern and grafted it into Star Wars. Limited number of base classes with talent and feat trees is one of the best decisions in d20 in my opinion.

I actually liked star wars d20 over saga. they were not that different in the final analysis I suppose, but something about saga never felt quite right to me. I wuld happily play either though (I think though I still miss the old westend version).

Yes, but with their short-lived Conan 2nd edition they finally did it right.

I feel the same way. The d20 system just does not seem to be geared well towards modern or futuristic skills and firearms. I thought that d20 Traveller did really well with that, but that was a confusing combat system to read through - easier to play it, but it only made sense when you played it.

I liked what was done with Babylon 5 (Second Edition).

Spycraft 1st Ed and M&M 1st Ed are good but the later editions of those two games have far too much crunch.

Quote from: Frey;671970Yes, but with their short-lived Conan 2nd edition they finally did it right.

There was also the "Atlantean edition," which I own. It was a properly edited version of the first edition rulebook, colour and all (which was dropped from the second edition book).

I actually prefer Atlantean Ed over Second Ed and not just because of the production values.
