[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8909070, member: 59082"] I want a version of D&D that has a [B]"basic"[/B] mode that is much more simple (more like C&C, or even simpler), and can be played as such, and an [B]"advanced"[/B] mode that has all the bells and whistles you want. I want my complexity dial, gods of all the planes damn it! [B]Basic mode: [/B][I]very [/I]simple. Takes 15 minutes or less to make characters, no need to reference the rule book(s) or consult lists of any kind (e.g. conditions). You pretty much roll d20, add a single modifier against a target number (DC). Done. [B]Advanced mode:[/B] customizable, with modular options. "In this campaign we're going to use M, U, and Z modules." Pretty much everything is in the tool box, and each campaign decides which tools to use - anything from sub-classes to different racial variations, feats, encumbrance, conditions, etc. For bonus points, I'd like it if "basic" and "advanced" characters can be used in the same campaign...but that might be too much to ask for.
