Yuck.
"Sickly Yellow" is never a good color choice.

Maybe they're trying to make d20 look unattractive now?

To be fair, the colors are kinda off. Like I mentioned, my scanner is junk.

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? I think it's something about the combination of nasty-yellow-and-brown color scheme with the white outline and "raised letters" look.

Uh, yeah, brown and yellow…

One should be careful with baby caca colours.

And maybe the colors can be altered based on the overall page layout.

My thoughts, too.

Seeing that on a product would not encourage me to buy it. That's just hideous. And I don't see better colors making it much better.

The new logo reminds me too much of World of Warcraft, I'll pass.

Wow -- that's a pretty brave logo. I love it, but I can see why many people would not.

I'm not a big fan of the logo. It looks like something off a '70's comic book.

Too Anime for me.

But seriously it does have a 70s retro vibe.

Well, at least there *is* a "d20 system," not simply "D&D by Wizards." Which would lend some credence to the hope that there will be other games in the system, ala 3rd party publishers.

I did a draw over on the one that Hal posted. This isn't 100% accurate, but its damn close.

I don't understand why this logo exists. Aren't they retiring the d20 license because of this whole GSL thing?

Personally I think its missing a half-circle of 5 pointed stars around it with that are coming from behind.

But yea.... ehhhhh. Bad 70's retro. I'll take Mongoose's original font for the Spinward Marches over that. (for the record, their current font is considerably better).

Thats something I would expect to find on a pack of bubblegum, but not on RPG books.

Everything about RPGs is subjective, so everything I say about them is I my opinion and not hard facts

Having a backstory is good. Using this backstory in game is better. And for that you need background skills.

4E, the game where you play HSMFOS

Heroic
Only good, or at least unaligned adventurers are supported and no monster you can fight is good aligned.

Super-
The PCs become masters in any skill automatically and it is impossible for them to be bad at a mundane task

Mutants
Compared to NPCs of the same strength, PCs poses a ungodly amount of HP and can withstand huge mountains of punishment. That or they can spontaneously regenerate wounds.

From Outer Space
Yet despite no matter how powerful the PCs become, they can never do anything special what the "natives" (=NPCs) can do like animating a skeleton.
