[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2223675, member: 8944"] Just curious - is it "wrong" to not particularly enjoy playing in non-D20 systems? I know there are players out there who don't particularly enjoy D20, and that makes some sense to me. It can't fill every aesthetic taste, and there are whole hosts of issues that can make someone prefer other systems, or swear off D20 entirely. I don't have a problem with that. Yet, when I mention my "loyalty" to the system that very much fulfills my personal taste, and can simulate everything I want to simulate to the degree I want to simulate it (from D&D to D20 Modern to Mutants and Masterminds) I am occaisonally ridiculed, and often told I'm wrong, and need to branch out, or some similar admonishment for not particularly enjoying alternate RPG system X. It's not that I haven't tried or read other RPG systems - in fact, I have done both a number of times. As an example, I have either read or played Star Trek (Original, and Next Generation), Marvel Super Heroes, Shadowrun (2nd and 3rd Editions), 1st Edition D&D, 2nd Edition D&D, Exalted, Adventure!, Godlike, Vampire, Werewolf, Changeling, Mage, Ars Magica, Feng Shui, D6 star wars, Alternity, GURPs, and Champions. Before D20 came along, I was almost completely loyal to West End Game's D6 Star Wars system, even trying to shoehorn modern and high-fantasy games into the system. After it did, I converted, because I found a system that I liked better. Is my dislike of those systems somehow qualititatively different than another player disliking D20? Have any of you had similar experiences? [/QUOTE]
