Spinning my Wheels on Systems

Just throwing this out there to see what kind of feedback I get.  I've got a couple of projects that I'd really like to work on. One's fantasy and one's sci-fi. To get past the spinning my wheels phase I gotta decide on system(s). Even though it might be advantageous to go Swords & Wizardry and Fate, I'm gonna go other directions. Currently under consideration: EABA Fudge Open D6/Mini-Six Custom Why these three options? EABA I've been running EABA, Hero and Gurps to explore the universal system field. I like each of them for various reasons, but two things stand out for me regarding EABA. Its universal chart is an incredible game resource and it has an upfront permissive license.  Fudge The open license and the fact that it's a framework are really attractive. Besides that, there are a lot of shoulders to stand on. Also, I've wanted to explore Fate's roots. Open D6/Mini-Six Beyond the open license, nostalgia...

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The Troll Lords' successful Kickstarter is nearing the end. So far, it's beaten my expectations but there's still more to unlock. http://bit.ly/3siskick

Castles & Crusades Experimental Character Sheet?

I'm playing (yes, playing!) in a Castles & Crusades game and am loving it. What I'm not so keen on is the character sheet. So, I began pondering an experimental sheet. The game has more modifiers to keep track of - more than the other games that I've tackled, which makes an attempt more challenging. Perhaps that's why I should try.

Over at the troll dens, the Players Handbook, Monsters & Treasure and the Castle Keepers Guide have all sold out. To rectify the situation, the Trolls have launched a new Kickstarter to bring them back. Heed the call, for color! Deo volente. The Funding Goals

I've been asked to post up an experimental Swords & Wizardry sheet that's in use. A recent moved had 'em tucked away, but I finally tracked one down.
