Dying Earth: Primer of Practical Magic

[mmadsen]

I probably would prefer a d20 version of the setting - the DE game itself is too, er, artsy, for my tastes.

As much as I enjoyed the Dying Earth core rulebook, I think you could go a long way with just a few simple changes to D&D:

• Remove all spellcasters except Wizards.
• Allow Bluff and Diplomacy to achieve much more than in a typical D&D game -- and let them work on PCs.
• Add Fumbles. Lots of Fumbles.
• Elicit erudite prose from your players.
• Introduce elaborate costumes, gourmet delicacies, etc.

Has anyone had a chance to look at the Primer yet? I'm interested to hear what people's reactions are.
