[QUOTE="d4, post: 1600087, member: 12699"] the change i've noticed is that whereas it used to be D&D, White Wolf, Palladium, and GURPS, it's now d20, White Wolf, Palladium, and GURPS. meaning there's a lot more small publishers getting space at the game stores than there used to be, due to OGL and d20. even if they're using the same ol' d20 system, i still see that as a good thing for the hobby. i don't really care about new [i]systems[/i], so much as new blood coming in through new publishers and designers. it doesn't particularly concern me that their creativity is being channeled into the d20 system as opposed to making up their own systems. i don't really see the advantage of making up a new system from whole cloth for every new game, as opposed to tweaking an existing one, anyways. wow, really? White Wolf is still #2 behind d20 around here (new jersey), and was when i lived out in California too. (not to mention before that when i lived in upstate New York.) i was a huge In Nomine fan back in the day -- IN died before d20 ever existed. i wouldn't blame SJ's inability to keep the line afloat on d20 and OGL. i'm going to be a bit pragmatic and probably controversial here. i'm not going to say d20 is the perfect end-all be-all gaming system. but, [i]it's good enough[/i]. i don't particularly care to see new innovative systems because i'm content with the one i have. it may not be the Platonic Ideal of Gaming Systems, but it works, and i'm happy with it. to be completely honest, i'd rather see people spend their creative energy on fine-tuning existing systems, rather than creating new ones.
