[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5926951, member: 59506"] I agree, but would just like to add that with the 2E historical reference books, they showed how the system really wasn't made for this type of game. Don't get me wrong, I loved them. But they weren't as "historical" as their titles made them seem. They were still very much D&D versions of those real world historical settings. If one picked them up thinking they could play a realistic and historically accurate game in the described settings, rather than a D&D Genre version of them, they were sorely disappointed. That's why to me, getting the base system right is so important. If too much D&D only genre hardcoding is in the base rules, it makes it that much harder to use for other things. B-) [/QUOTE]
