Re: [BNW] BNW with Other Systems?



Have you tried playing a game with the d20 system conversion for BNW rather 
than just working on character conversion and such?  I have converted 
characters and played several games with Mutants and Masterminds (which is 
actually even less cumbersome than the Modern d20 system) and I have found 
that the game doesn't play as smoothly as it did with the BNW rules.  I mean, 
ya know, it's a matter of taste and all, but quick play is very important to 
my group, and when we went d20, things slowed wayyyyyyy down.

I will say this.  The character generation system for M&M seems to provide 
more detailed characters and (obviously) more freedom in generating the 
character's "power package."  Also, for more "four-color" supers, the damage 
system in M&M is really one of the best (if not the best) out there.  But we 
just found that all that detail just didn't make our games in the BNW 
universe any better, so we went back to the BNW system.

Oh well, to each his own.
