I've played most rule systems from the 80's onwards and they all have their good points and bad points.Also, people tend to really focus on the rules and snip and snap back forth about them, but the dirty little secret is the rules don't really matter all that much. Poker hasn't changed much in a hundred years and more people get together to play that on the weekends than all the rpg game nights combined.Community matters a lot and most people play what the other guy is playing because of "group think"(if everyone uses it, it must be good) and it's easier to find groups for.For D20 there's an insane amount of material out for it and a lot of people grew up on it so it's rooted in their past pretty well. The idea of hit points, saving throws, a little 3rd level spell called fireball, etc all fall right into their comfort zone.</blockquote>
