[QUOTE="bento, post: 2878093, member: 36597"] As a GM for a group of novice players and someone who has taken a liking to the True 20 system, I find what's been written about True Sorcery in this post as an indication that the book would be a waste of my money. It's difficult enough to get someone to play a spellcaster because of all the details to keep track of in the D20 system, and now a new book has come out to make it even more complicated. Huzzah. :confused: I think Green Ronin missed a great opportunity to expand on the Adept class and instead introduced (or reconfigured) yet another complicated magic system. Don't we already get these a couple of times a year from WoTC? Getting expanded spells, magic feats and new adept character paths was going to be the breakthrough I needed to get my players to convert over to the system, but it looks like I'll have to wait. :( I also get tired of posters explaining to me how easy it is to port things over to True 20. It might be for you, having played variations of the system for nigh on umpteen years, but for those of us trying to get into a new hobby it's just another barrier. Why don't you do the work and I'll pay $10 for it on RPGNow? - bento (the lazy GM) [/QUOTE]
