[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1635003, member: 891"] I would say that's intentionally taking a literal interpretation of what was writtn which you and everyone else know to be not what was intended in order to defeat the argument by not really adressing it's actual point. I would presume the actual point to have been - d20 and OGL should build on past work where possible and where that work has gained community acceptance and or is of exceptional quality - and thus should be further promoted. MnM for example, has gained a large level of community acceptance. Way of the Which makes changes to Relics and Ritual's Ritual system that is of exceptional quality - and should be further promoted and incorporated despite obscurity and because it also follows a pre-existing chain. 4ctF is largely unknown, if I've heard of it, it's only been in odd reference here and there - it does not even appear to have a small clique speaking for it's exceptional quality (if it has such). MnM and 4ctF are however for supers, so there is no logic in incorporating them into a fantasy suppliment - though there might be logic in taking selective elements. BESM d20 is light to moderately known, with several cliques that do speak for it, and of exceptional quality in the overall whole, though like anything there are problematic details. BESM d20 handles the cinematic action genre, and its elements can be incorporated into product of that nature. If that product takes an anime theme this is even more so. BESM tri-stat was not just an anime system (Ghost Dog and SaS), and it remains to be seen if the same can be said for BESM d20. It is however, as stated before, Cinematic. All anime really means is the art style... Product that is in the open should be picked up and further incorporated where fitting if it is also of exceptional quality, or widely accepted, and the judgement of just when these factors occur is somewhat subjective.
