[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5905151, member: 58416"] I'm undecided. Obviously, if they deliver on every promise, it should be a good game. However, I need to know more about what the default style of play is. While I am aware it is a modular system, it still has a core base it is built upon, and I need to know a little more about what the essence of that core base is. Gritty or Wuxia? How much of a nod toward realism? How much did Gamma World 4E and the board games influence the design of the game (if at all)? Other questions I would need to know: How good is 13th Age? What is going on over at Paizo? Pathfinder 2E? D&D Durango might well turn out to be an excellent game, but it might also be an excellent game which has other excellent games to compete with. 'My D&D' could end up being 13th Age, a Paizo Pathfinder product, whatever Monte Cook's big announcement turns out to be, or something else entirely. Adopting Durango as my preferred version of D&D wouldn't necessarily mean it becomes #1 on my rpg shelf either. D&D Durango's goals (modularity being one) mean it shares some of the same space as a product from SJ Games which I feel is very good. There are too many variables for me to answer this poll in a meaningful way right now. [/QUOTE]
