[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 6133658, member: 5038"] While I agree that d20 and D&D are not the same thing (d20 as in the d20SRD license only includes the things that WOTC chose to make available for others to use) and not everything produced under it is compatible with D&D, please do not go telling myself and others what type of fantasy is and is not D&D. It may not be D&D to you, but that does not mean it is not D&D to others. What are the D&D tropes? Are they: Lots of PC Races? Nope. There have been officially published discussion on single race campaigns. A party comprised of different classes? Nope. Single class parties have been officially covered in multiple editions. And the game can be run for a single character so parties are not a requirement. Divine/Arcane Split? Sorry, at least one edition has already discussed campaigns with no magic (see 2e Complete Fighter's Handbook). You can't have an arcane/divine split if there is no magic. No hit locations and critical hits that kill a character in one blow or leave lasting injuries? For official versions see 0D&D Supplement II: Blackmoor and 2e PO: Combat and Tactics. For a 3e third party version using the d20 STL, see Torn Asunder (Bastion Press). "Vancian" Magic? Both 2e and 3e have had official variants that include spell point systems. [/QUOTE]
