Yes, I might even find time to convert it to D20 like I mentioned.

Though personally I hate D20..but what other generic system would you suggest?

I think D20 is the only company with the lack of taste to publish such a game - I mean these are the guys who licenced D20 Afganistan the RPG.

Well, D20 isn't a company per se - that's Wizards of the Coast. And the license is available to anyone who fits the requirements (although a "decency" clause was recently added).

There are a bunch of "open source" RPG systems that would work with VB (assuming it hasn't changed much since I read it a year or so ago). If there's interest, I can compile a partial list.

I wouldnt mind seeing whats out there - I know stuff like FUDGE has quite a following...hmm

Yeah I think the system does let VB down slightly, the concept is great!

Partial List

These are the ones I see as actively supported and growing:

Action! System: http://www.action-system.com/
FUDGE: http://www.fudgerpg.com/fudge/
EABA: http://www.btrc.net/html/eaba.html
Impressa: http://www.pigames.net/impresa.php

That's off the top of my head. There's lots of others (Jazz by Brandon Blackmore is another one), but they're not actively supported, so for a marketable product I would suggest any of these.

Also, there's a number of OGL/D20 derivatives that might also work, if you prefer that route.

Interesting...Ill definitely take a look through those.

I dont like the limitations of a level based system though, thats my main objection to D20 for any kind of modern game. Things like sniping for exmaple become really silly under a level/hit point system.

Re: Partial List

[eddyfate.livejournal.com]

There are some interesting interpretations of that which you might like. For example, Mutants and Masterminds only have three health levels - no hit points at all. I'm fairly against D20 in some ways, but I keep abreast of it because I have to, and there are some things out there that make me interested in the potential of the system.

Just a thought - the four I present can also do quite well for VB.

Oh, that'd be good.
