[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5874792, member: 9037"] So because it has never been the standard in DnD then that is is a good reason not to ever try and do it? I know I am not alone in wanting a rule set that gives me the chance to play different types of fantasy games. If the designers truly want to make a modular game with dials then this is something that should be looked at. I am a pretty great DM when it comes to story telling and world building but I suck at game design it is just not by forte. I run changes through several people I know to get an idea if it is a good one. So I would buy a rule set that let me play a high level game that is more realistic less wuxia and still let me play DnD. I like to run long term campaigns and while I do use a slow progression for XP the PC eventually reach higher levels. There are times an E6 or E9 works just great for what I want. But there are times that I want to introduce higher level threats like ancient dragons and liches without the accompanying unstoppable PCs. As others have said I could try and find a different game and in the end that is what I am probably going to do which means that I won't be buying anything from WOTC or Pazio for that matter. It is kind of hard to find players for other games most people I know just want to play DnD because it is what they know it, it is easy to find the books and it is the most common fantasy game. So while I am getting burned out on DnD especially the prep time my players would stage a revolt if I switched to something else. [/QUOTE]
