[QUOTE="SJ, post: 290886, member: 6325"] Making your skill check or scoring a threat in d20 is still fun and fine, but there is just something about the "Amazing" success that you got in Alternity that I thought just made the gameplay that much [B]better[/B] . Many of us still play and support game systems that have been retired (and that's a GOOD thing) but with the time req'ts and schedule for my game companions we just have to go d20 to keep the rule maintenance down. Frankly I like the Alternity system (some have said it was a precursor *test* for 3e?) better even than d20, I just don't get to exercise it as often. At least there's still a few Alternity games left at GenCon this year, but after that I"m guessing it'll be slim pickings. Maybe it was just that fact that rolling [B]LOW[/B] was [B]GOOD[/B] (finally something I am good at :D) EarthsShadow, you've clearly put some thought into the conversion, thanks for posting. I agree that some type of VP/WP is more appropriate. What about feats? You're pretty much moving toward a d20 style, right? Or more of a hybrid approach? SJ [/QUOTE]
