Why? I know d20 and my players know d20. Learning a new systems, going through the mistakes and less-than-optimal play that occurs when you are just learning a system, and so forth, are time invested that I would rather be doing quality gaming. These days I only have one 4-6 hour block a week to spend with my players, and if I am going to be squandering one or more of those learning a new system, there had better be a good reason.In some of your listed games, I can see the point. I don't feel d20 is especially well suited to supers play, and would rather use HERO or DC Heroes for those. But of others you are listed, I gotta say I actively prefer d20, even if my players knew the system. d6 WEG and Shadowrun and WoD Storyteller (and moce dice pool style systems, for that matter) I really dislike.CoC is an unusual case. I've played it for years, but really feel the skill system is outdated, but I still think chargen is better than the d20 version. I think if I had a hankering to run Cthulhu mythos, I'd use the d20 version, but yank out the chargen and use a toned down version of d20 modern instead.</blockquote>
