True20

I'm on mobile but I'll see if I can find the link to the mega with almost all True20 stuff if you'd like. I've never played it myself but I think it seems like oneveryone of the few good d20 versions

It's probably my favorite remnant if the d20 Glut.
It's an attempt at turning d20 into a generic system. Basically they took every class trait and turned them into feats. You have three base classes that determine your skills and a few other things, and from there you build up the class you want through feats. Spellcasting is also done through feats and skills, every spell is a feat (it might have more than one effect) and to cast it you have to check against exhaustion.
The other interesting thing is that it uses a condition scale instead of hit points. When you get hit you save against damage, if you fail you get progressively worse conditions up to death. Thanks to this, you don't need any die that is not a d20.
All in all I consider it an improvement over the standard d20 stuff. The book details how to play in several sorts of settings and there are a lot of supplements with more setting and rules material.

Is this probably isn't gonna be very help but I'll post anyway.
I own this game.... i think, I don't remember it well so i guess it didn't leave much of an impression.
So take that for what you will.

It's not nearly as heavy as FantasyCraft, it felt more like it was going for a rules light d20 variant that could tackle non-fantasy settings. After trying this and Savage Worlds, I ended up sticking with the latter.

So d20 GURPS?

It's reminiscent of Mutants & Masterminds in some ways, and it's the system originally used in Blue Rose.

Maybe in spirit, but True20 is still a d20 derivative, so mostly just a bunch of prepackaged traits, without the fine-tuning or complexity of a GURPS. It's also actually playable without autism.

It's essentially the core ideas of Mutants & Masterminds (also by Green Ronin) slimmed down and divorced from the superheroics concept.

The game revolves around two design elements:
>Piecemeal character design
Build your class as you go out of feats. If it's a core feature of a D&D class you can invest in it in feats.
You also pick a Background which gives you a few more extra things, like feats or skills--and in the context of a fantasy RPG this could be your race.
>Broad ways to interpret mechanical axioms
Like Mutants & Masterminds, it's designed for you to be able to take characters or things that are otherwise mechanically identical and just reinterpret the context of what props those numbers up, and makes them true.
There are three classes you build out of which define feat access and grant a unique feature, defining your specialization: Warrior (fighting), Expert (skills), and Adept (powers).
But, they're not necessarily Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard--you could just as well make a Street Samurai, a Decker, or a Shaman, respectively, just by having those contexts and character ideas in mind when picking skills, feats, and powers.

There are also guidelines to make your own to fit other places on the spectrum of these 3, or have a different spin on their core abilities or assumptions.

Although, while I say this, it is a bit anachronistic as a large portion of similarities actually originate from Blue Rose and True20 rather than Mutants & Masterminds 3e, which came out afterwards.
