Suppose you've been playing D&D in one form or another for the last decade. Suppose your party is as sick of D&D and d20 as you are. Suppose you've finally moved them into SR, but you also want another game. Suppose there are just too many games out there. ;)

We're lookign to get a new game for our group. We're looking for non-medieval fantasy or star faring sci-fi (no Star Wars, more like Battletech or Babylon 5 or the old Traveller).

It could be:

Earthdawn (1st or 2nd edition?)
Babylon 5 d20 (keep hearing good things about it, even though it's d20)
Anime d20
Tri Stat dX/BESM
Blue Planet

Some of us had in mind the Battletech/Mechwarrior combo, but not all the group is into bashing mechas.

What are your opinions? Are we forgetting any other good game?

Thanks! :wavey:
