[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 6090019, member: 6688937"] Yes, "orthogonal" basically means non-overlapping or non-mixing. If you're cool with it, rock on. Okay, that's fine. Sounds like you're on your way. Unless you're really trying to stay very close to d20, I'd suggest looking at FATE. It has a lot of the characteristics you're shooting for already. Also, if you didn't know: FATE and its ancestor Fudge are OGL'd. FATE, at least, has a very active community and easily translates new settings. There are a couple different versions (not all sequential, either) of the FATE family. The new FATE Core version will be out sometime this year and should be excellent at your goals (if a little abstract). There's even a version or two that use attributes ([U]Icons [/U]is the best of those, IMO YMMV). There's also free versions. You could probably take the FATE system and replace the die-mechanic with d20's, if you like. It all depends on how close to d20 you want to stay. Good luck with it, I hope you have fun. [/QUOTE]
