But remember, this is coming from the guy people call a "d20 hater". (I'm not a d20 hater, though. I love D&D and d20 fantasy derivations [which is, probably, 80% of the d20 market!].) I just get very concerned when d20 encroaches on non-d20 RPG systems that mean a great deal to me.In my cynical way, I'd like to see the new edition of WFRP make a d100 brand (assuming the new edition still uses d100) and approach WotC to produce a d100 Dungeons & Dragons.Some people say rules don't matter and that knowing a standard system (I dare not say "generic") helps people ignore rule's crunching and get into the theatrics of story, mood and roleplaying. I disagree, I think that rules can't help but colour the setting and a "pure" version of WFRP will always be "closer" to the "feel" of the Warhammer world than a d20 derivation.Warhammer d20 may work for you, but to me, by publishing WFRP with d20 rules alternatives, would undermine the power of Warhammer to stand on its own as a great roleplaying game (perhaps this is an ethical issue). But when I play Warhammer, I don't want Feats; I don't want 6 ability scores; I don't want Base Attack and Saving Throws. Even such primary mechanics from the "d20 system" will remind me of D&D because that's where all these things came from.You probably all think I'm silly and that I'm a philistine but this is just my opinion. Yeah . . . blah, blah, blah . . . everyone get out their acid and flaming torches . . .</blockquote>
