My personal preferred system for roleplaying is HERO. As such, I'm working on various Planescape conversions to that system, rather than D20. What I wonder is if there would be any interest in seeing my work here. I'm willing to post it to the forums as I get various things completed, but I figure there's no point in doing so if nobody actually cares about seeing it.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think the general consensus is:
HERO?

HERO is a bit more of an open and free-form system. Some level of information can probably be found at www.herogames.com
You also might have heard of Champions, which uses the same rules.

More so. There are no classes and levels. A character is basically composed of powers and skills. (Powers being pretty much any ability, from spells to a sword.)

How does the system handle social interaction?

There are skills to cover it, but it suggests that skills not take the place of roleplaying. Which is, really, something that can be assumed about any game, whether or not the rulebook says so.
I can't say I have ever heard of HERO.
