[QUOTE="King of Old School, post: 1219033, member: 8789"] It's nonetheless a limitation for a game that purports to be useful for [i]any[/i] modern action-adventure concept. The people who get upset when d20M gets referred to as "D&D Modern" should accept that it's Wizards' fault this perception exists. I love d20M, it's a fantastic game design IMO but it could have been much better and IMO its lack of success is down to poor design decisions. Plus, it bugs the crap out of me when people suggest that superscience and SF elements are somehow less appropriate for a modern game than fantasy. SF does [i]not[/i] equal "futuristic," folks! Look at Genetech, or MIB or the Six Million Dollar Man if you want proof... And if Wizards is "better to stick with what they already know best," why even bother with a modern RPG? In that case they should stick to generic medieval Tolkienesque fantasy and be done with it. ??? Wizards has nothing to do with Polyhedron anymore AFAIK, it's Paizo's baby now. KoOS [/QUOTE]
