[QUOTE="rpgHQ, post: 939359, member: 12219"] thats too funny lets complicate the game by making something require checks agsint two, or three or more skills instead of simply making a SINGLE new skill to cover it correctly. Its fine and dandy to incorporate new things into existing feats and skills but when you take something that would require 2 or more feats and/or two or more existing skills your starting to actually complicate things, which is what your trying to avoid yes? Also cinematic/operatic(sp?) game play is not the only way to play d20 or any other game system. Some people prefer superhero style play while others actually do prefer a bit of the nitty gritty to some extent, and others like it sonewhere between, thats what they enjoy about playing the game. And from all the 'minisettings' I have seen in d20 modern and published in certain magazines I think d20modern covers the gamut rather nicely. I think the Blood series of books so far presents new things in a nice middle ground which allows folks to expand it further per their own tastes, be it simplifying things or detailing things. Why does someone need to go use a different game system than d20 because the way they use it is different from yours? If your expecting something to be tailored made 'out-of-the-box' for your campaign your deluded, I have yet to buy any game material for rpg'ing and use it 'out-of-the-box'. Who does? Heck, even the RPGA tournament campaign settings have their own rule guidelines that restrict or expand on existing rules. [/QUOTE]
