Startide (now at v0.0.5)

[getter77]

It's based on the d20 system.

Setting
The Solar System sometime in the distant future (500-1000 years or so). Most of the solar system has been colonized from Venus to the Kuiper belt. Mars has been partially terraformed. Ultimately, I hope to have many worlds to explore, but the goal right now is to make Mars an interesting place to visit.

Gameplay
Species defines character progression, classes may be added later but will only affect starting equipment/skills.
Two species playable now: humans and chimpanzees. Gorillas and orangutans are also planned. Non-hominid species may be added at a later date

It's very rough right now and not all that fun to play but I do have one zone that's almost playable.
