Does anyone play True 20?

[IronWolf]

No, I don't play True20. I haven't even read too much about it.

 

[Herobizkit]

I bought the Blue Rose book and absolutely loved it. I look forward to DMing a game with these rules someday.

Of course, I said the same thing about Arcana Unearthed...

And of course I still have to play out a gestalt campaign...

*grumble*

 

[greymist]

No. But I am hoping to get my hands on the rules and possibly convert my D&D campaign to True 20, if I like what I see.

 

[Terwox]

Yep, I've run True20 and I love it. It's a lot easier for new players, and I vastly prefer the damage track to the hp mechanic. Neat little magic system too. True20 is quickly moving to nudge out D&D as my favored game to GM, although I'm still happily playing D&D 3.5 too. (Although after reading the book, I'm more interested in playing the new Shadowrun, but that's another thread!)

I own it and have read it, but the closest that I come to actually playing True 20 is M&M. Maybe I'll be able to give it a spin with a one shot game in the near future, but not at the moment.

It does look good, though.

We’re using it to run a Star Wars game right now.

The problem is, I don’t think I could ever go back to 3.5 D&D afterwards.

Does anybody even play True 20(Blue Rose or otherwise)?/QUOTE]

I'm still waiting until my FLGS will have a copy of T20 to have a look at it.

 

[GeorgeFields]

I haven't gotten it, yet; but it is in my plans.

 

[Aus_Snow]

I voted no, but I'm planning on picking it up some time.

I'd be very interested to read True20 'actual play' posts, or even accounts of pros and cons.

I'd be very interested to read True20 'actual play' posts, or even accounts of pros and cons.

My short version:

PROS: Rules-light, fast, streamlined, and consistent. No more clunky hit-points, magic slots, or AoOs. Easy to port other D20 mechanics into as needed (or wanted.)

CONS: Some players don’t like the skill system setup. No official setting (yet.) Core rules still in need of minor editing in several places.

Additionally, I should mention that it is quite possible to kill just about anything (PC characters included) in one attack at any level. Not always likely… But possible. This makes combat far more potentially deadly than other D20 games. I love it, but others might not.
