[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 3006205, member: 1129"] Well, at Gen Con I bought Burning Empires because I'm not devoted to d20 as a science fiction campaign and thought that the engine was interesting enough to pick up Burning Wheel. Now I did notice a few other games like Qin the Warring States and a campaign setting 'powered by the A/B system' or something. I passed them over. Heck, I even skipped Runequest. I'm not saying that you can't enjoy multiple game engines. Heck, if Rolemaster came out tomorrow in a new edition I'd probably go buy it. But.... As I get older, I have less time to learn new game systems. My group has less time and well, patience for new game systems when they're perfectly happy with 3.5. This makes me realize that despite how cool some of these things look, they're simply not aimed at me. And that's okay. There are other people coming into the hobby that have played 3.5 and found that "Wow. that was cool. What else is there." and there are others going, "Wow, this stinks. What else is there." Since the d20 pool has cooled off, the wide range of options for d20 aren't what they used to be. now I'm still firmly convinced that many game engines could just be left alone, especially if it's doing generic fantasy, but hey, Palladium Fantasy is still out there and heck, that's gotta be one of the first house ruled D&D games I've ever played. So how many new fantasy systems have people bought over the last year that weren't d20 or d20 based? [/QUOTE]
