This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

Special characters....action dice that explode...balanced power acquisition, lots of combat manuevers.
Seems like Fantasy Craft is basically Savage Worlds if it was d20 based and 10x as intricate. Loving one and hating the other just got more complicated :)

I am torn between Spycraft and Wheel of Time (first versions both).

I quite like CoC d20 -- it's much better than I thought it would be -- but I don't see any reason to ever play it instead of the BRP version.

The PF Beginners' Box set is quite nice.  If only PF remained at that level of complexity overall, I could envision actually running it.

From actual experience I could say that they play very differently; and not necessarily in the way most people who haven't played CoC D20 would tend to assume.

3PP are making adventures for PFBB, but due to Paizo's stance, they are not allowed to use the branding of PFBB in any way.  Thus, unless you know what to look for, it seems you will not find them.  

Kinda odd to me...

More like a list of all the D20 games other than D&D 3.5 or Pathfinder.

Was a best D20 game ever decided on?
