I know that d20 is good in D&D, but what about other settings?

[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1766454, member: 2205"] Sorry, I caught arnwyn's reply to my question, but I missed this post specifically targetted at my reply! Didn't mean to leave you out of the fun... I agree that that's a problem, but that's a style problem inherent in d20 across the board, and it doesn't have anything to do with futuristic, modern, past or fantasy. It is equally a problem across all those arena's unless you simply accept that d20 works that way. Or do you believe that futuristic and modern settings are more likely to require a level-less system? I'm not saying that's impossible, but based on the science fiction and action movies/books/comics/TV shows that I'm familiar with, I'd say that's unlikely. And, for that matter, in my initial post which you quoted, I did call that out as a specific weakness of d20. Or rather, it's the one aspect of d20 that I wish there was an easier way around. However, with systems like Ken Hood's Grim and Gritty Hit Points system, or the very similar system in [i]Darkness & Dread[/i] I'd say a great workaround for those who's tastes prefer an approach that doesn't bring levelling baggage with it is already in print. Since when is d20 = D&D? I think in the context of the original question of this thread, that was never implied, and it certainly isn't to me, or any other gamer who's relatively "aware" of the RPG market. It probably is to some hypothetical (but very numerous) Joe Blow gamer who only buys what's put out by Wizards of the Coast and is unaware of the larger d20 movement, but that seems beside the point anyway. Who cares if the workaraounds come from OGC material? I interpreted the initial question to specifically be looking into OGC material for a solution to the game he wanted to run anyway. [/QUOTE]
