We technically have a dedicated thread for Useful Notes, but it's a Short-Term Project, so good luck getting anybody to comment.

I don't really know enough about Tabletop Games to help with this. Sorry.

TabletopGame.D 20 System should indeed be moved to Useful Notes as it's not a game. TabletopGame.D 20 Modern appears to be an actual tabletop RPG utilising the aforementioned system, so it can probably stay where it is. TabletopGame.D 20 Rebirth is just bizarre, as it doesn't seem to be game either, but it does have tropes. Maybe move it to Useful Notes as well.

This sounds like a task complicated enough for TRS, rather than a simple projects thread.

I have done a bit more digging, and it appears that The Other Wiki also treats D20 Modern as a game, but D20 System as just a system. After all, the former does have a whole lot of rulebooks and such explicitly written for it, whereas the latter is just a carcass that can be used for anything. The lack of the original name is pretty much the only reason why we have this problem.

Meanwhile, I looked at the forums linked at the D20 Rebirth page, and it appears like a half-developed homebrew that never actually got off the ground. Posts on their forum end in late 2011, soon after their Kickstarter got $582 out of 2,5k goal.

Thus, I believe TabletopGame.D 20 System should be moved to Useful Notes, TabletopGame.D 20 Modern stays where it is, and TabletopGame.D 20 Rebirth belongs on DarthWiki due to being an unproduced, unfinished work.

Seems like no-one objects, so I guess I'll go with my plan above.

Edit: Finally, it's all done.
