Or even write your own. I did so, basically to piss off someone who
wanted the C&S crowd to dump years worth of work and publish as a d20
game, so I came up with C&S Essence which is a workable game.

Write your own game that does what you want it too, hell I'm sure that
the TFT crowd could rediscover the things they loved TFT for, but in a
newer and more flexible way for the 21st Century
