[QUOTE="Doc_Klueless, post: 9279043, member: 261"] For me, it isn't a [I][B]problem[/B][/I]. It's a [I][B]feature[/B][/I]. I like the effects dice and what they do. However, I also like the games that just use d20s like Dune. I like that they have modified the 2d20 system between the different genres to reflect that genre. That's actually a very healthy response. You shouldn't buy games that you're not comfortable with or do like the mechanics of. However, telling the company that "if they don't change it like I want it, I'll [just keep my money!]" isn't really all that compelling for them. Because they have to figure out if keeping the effects dice would result in more sales of the 2nd Edition than ditching them. I mention that because they're stated that it's to be backwards compatible with 1st edition and the core books for 1st ed use the effects dice. Removing the effects dice may make their core audience react with "I thought you said it'd be backwards compatible and it's NOT! I'm keeping my old stuff and you can stick the new stuff where the sun doesn't shine." [Edited to be less snippy. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, TrippyHippy. It sounded playful in my head but obviously didn't read that way] [/QUOTE]
