[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3740805, member: 3867"] You bring up an excellent point as well, which is that we don't have to stick with one system. For example, I'd probably use D&D for a Dragonlance game, then C&C if I'm running an old AD&D module. If I'm playing L5R, I may use either the d10 or d20 system. Different systems for different occasions. A trap I fall into is that I feel there should be "one system to rule them all" - that singular system you use for everything. Really, that's a bit of a fallacy. A person could theoretically use d20, GURPS, d6, etc. for any number of games. What I do (for some strange, stupid reason) is beat myself up trying to figure out what game system to use. My ideal system is somewhere between C&C and D&D. I've gone back and forth between the two systems half a dozen times. It doesn't help not having a real-life game going on. I guess, really, there comes a time when you just have to house-rule it, take the best of all editions, and go with what you want. BTW, kudos to this thread. It's been most helpful. :) [/QUOTE]
