[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6068629, member: 20564"] I'm the exception that proves the rule. I like 13th Age, 3.x, 4e, and Next is looking pretty good. Also heard good things about Pathfinder from people I've been playing D&D with since AD&D. Different games fit different needs and styles. 13th Age has a lot of mechanics that feel like one path of improvement of the D&D line, but it also ties in mechanically to the setting. So I expect a lot of fun from 13th Age, but if I want to run another homebrew world (I love setting creation) it'll probably be one of the D&Ds since that gives me a more generic ruleset. I don't think that "For people who like all the D&D quirks and foibles, you're probably not going to be interested in such" is the best descriptor. It is D20 OGL, and I don't think that just liking D&D offsets the possibility of liking games with related mechanics and genre. But I understand where you're coming from - there will be overlap and if you're happy with D&D many may not see a reason to give it a try. Frankly, I'm happy I did, but YMMV. [/QUOTE]
