I have to say I'm having a great time with Stars Without Number. The rules don't get in the way and the sandbox support is fantastic. But. The dichotomy of 2d6 for skills and d20 for combat bugs me enough that I'm considering switching systems.
Cepheus sounds like an obvious choice: open, inexpensive, same Traveller chassis, tons of support. But I open DTRPG, filter for Cepheus and core rulebooks, and there are still 53 books, including two SRDs, Cepheus Light, Cepheus Faster Than Light, Cepheus Deluxe, Cepheus Universal, Cepheus Atom, Sword of Cepheus, Zaibatsu, and Hostile. How do I even start to find my way in this ecosystem? Is there a way to see how various character creation, combat, vehicle, and progression rules stack up?
