Message: <blockquote data-quote="woodelf" data-source="post: 1581156" data-attributes="member: 10201">I hear that a lot from D20 System-only groups. Among my circle of RPing friends, i know of at least two groups where there is only one person willing to run D20 System, but all of them will GM any number of other games. Strangely, these same people who are willing to run other systems are often not willing to play them. It's weird. Among all the RPers i know personally, those who're willing to GM complex systems like D20 System are pretty few, while those who're willing to GM in general are pretty common--most are willing to, but many aren't particularly interested in it. They don't do so not because of aversion, but because of apathy.Anyway, trying to be constructive here, not partisan: One's first GMing experience should be as simple as possible. That means, IMHO, minimize the rules, so that the novice GM only needs to worry about the GMing itself, not rules. Then, once she is comfortable with GMing in general, she can "graduate" to a high-complexity system like D20 System.</blockquote>
