What
Themes to play
- Roll-everything - nothing is a flat 10 base - DCs for saves are rolled (that little snake might be DC 21 fort save instead of 11!), AC base, etc
- Animals - everyone plays an enlightened animal with class levels (Mike)
- [Under]water - an oceanic if not underwater game (Mike)
- True20 - A d20 system with stripped-down base classes and every class ability is a feat/feat tree (Daryl)
- Buy The Numbers - A d20 system where everything from hit dice and BAB to class abilities are purchased within a point-based system (Daryl)
- Gestalt - D&D variant where every character gains 2 classes per level
- Group Builds
- All-the-same-class - everyone has to play different builds of the same class, such as everyone picks a different god for their cleric or a different school to specialize in for wizard, or different feat trees for a fighter
- No-martial - no one can play a +1/level BAB class
- No-spellcasters - no one can have any spells
- http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/variantAdventuring.htm
- Defense Bonus/Armor as DR/Armor Damage Conversion
Other systems?
- Ars Magica - A d10-centric troupe-based system (players create a group as a group, not individual characters -- of varying degrees of power to control multiple ones and tell a story with more actors)
- Paranoia - humoorous, dark humorous, or just dark dystopian sci-fi
- Unisystem - a d10-centric rules-medium system with a lot of customizability
- 4th Edition Playtest - Either with the pregen rules already posted or when the system is released in June.
