[QUOTE="knightofround, post: 4488092, member: 27884"] I guess it depends what gaming system you're using. I'm not sure if by "EverQuest d20" you're referring to the Swords & Sorcery version of EQ, which was pretty bad imho. If you want to use it though, thats great, I'm just saying that it doesn't encapsulate the "feel" of EQ that I got from the game. I guess when I think EverQuest I think of getting a ton of guildmates together and tackling epic foes. My fondest EQ1 memories are stuff like Plane of Hate raids, getting my butt whooped in Castle Mistmoore, doing epic quests, and--most importantly--guilds. I think if I ran al EQ campaign I would do it with 4E, as the d20 system is too lethal for PCs at lower levels imho. If I were to do it with d20, it would probably be a high level campaign.
