@onlyonepinman : I do agree that the 2D20 system is pretty good at capturing the spirit of the settings it has been used in.
Although I think that the momentum system does require both DM and players to learn how to use it (I’ve seen people complain about it being too easy/powerful).
I’ve got the Star Trek rules and Conan pdf’s (and will have the books too once the physical pledge arrives).

I suspect that it is that the sources they’ve chosen have been a good match for the main gimmick of the system.

It will be interesting to see if there is a genre/setting that breaks it

D&D is more problematic when trying to apply it to different settings/genres. The class system can be a bit too strict and you’ve already indicated how ridiculous the levelling system is within their own core settings.
