Multiple combat systems?  Skills and no skills.  Feats and no feats?  Add back all varieties of ways you could portray the world before they decided to dismiss them out of hand.You have very strange ideas.  Even I don't believe DDM 3rd or 4th or d20 Chainmail (or the original) are boardgames.</blockquote>
