Cortex Classic System Role Playing Game
Publisher: Margaret Weis Productions

Excellent core system especially for modern campaigns. I've tried the d20 Modern system, and think it seems a little clunky to me. I like that skill rolls don't get ridiculous like they do in some of the d20 systems. I also like the fact that there are no "levels" or "classes" and is more generic in that sense. There's no reason that you can't build packages to simulate these however.

I don't care for the core magic/psi system involved, but with the Traits/Skills system included, I've already started working on a Skill based magic/psi system for my fantasy campaign.

Overall, I give this game a very HIGH mark and recommend it to anyone wanting to try a simple to play generic system.

This book is an excellent source for Swashbuckling adventures although if you're a fan of the original Roll & Keep system, you may be a little disappointed. Personally, I prefer the R&K over d20 because it emphasizes Role-Playing more so than Roll-Playing.

The ONE major thing I do dislike about this book is that it's scanned, and not an original Electronic version. Overall however, it's still pretty good.

7th Sea: Players' Guide

This game is very good; it emphasizes role-playing over dice, although dice are used fairly often. If you prefer pure hack and slash, stay away. Unlike D&D, particularly the d20 version, this game offers players many more chances to "live" their character. While the characters tend to be more powerful than the NPCs (and they should be), the game still presents many chances for a character's downfall.

I have the paper copies of this and the Game Master's books, but wanted these for my laptop. You can't go wrong with this game.
