The reason isn't that there's anything wrong with the other systems. Thats all a matter of preference, familiarity, and the talent of its game designers. The reason I like D20 is because once your group has learned the basic set of rules, when you do want to switch to a different genre, they only need to learn the differences between it and D&D as opposed to having to teach them an entirely new game. I think that for many groups (but not all) that's huge. It gives the DM the opportunity to try different things rather than sticking to the same game all the time.Since you haven't played anything but D&D, I recommend playing the D20 Babylon 5 RPG by Mongoose (if you happen to be a B5 fan, that is), or Darwin's World by RPG Objects. I really think those give you some excellent variety and will expose you to some interesting genres and different ways of tweaking the game.</blockquote>
