Is this world still d20?

[Particle_Man]

How much can races and classes be changed and still count? I was wondering after making up a campaign setting which I describe here:

p.s. I welcome comments on the world-idea too, of course.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean to say, "Is this still D&D?" To either question, the answer is certainly "yes." I've seen even stranger worlds than this one for D&D (Arcana Unearthed comes to mind).

Is it still d20? If Mutants and Masterminds can be d20, so can yours.

Or am I misunderstanding the question?

imo, if it is d02 it ain't D&D.

About sums it up for me. Heck, Babylon 5 is d20. Farscape is d20. Star Wars is d20. Call of Cthulu is d20.

Heck, Rokugan is d20 and Lot5R. Fading Suns is d20 and Victory Points.

d20's what you make it to be; indeed, the system begs to be made into something.

I'm not sure, it's been a long time, but I thought Prince Valiant was the game you played with coin flips, not D&D.

Conkers. to see who goes first.

Except that Arcana Unearthed is not D&D, and Mutants & Masterminds is not d20 (just OGL).

Hey, there's a d20 version of Deadlands. Lots of things can be d20.

As a legal term for licensing, "d20" is a fairly specific term. In terms of game style, stucture, and design, it is much more vague, and many things can fit under the title.

...Mutants & Masterminds is not d20 (just OGL).

Don't confuse the system for the license.

Sorry, but I have to ask. What the heck is "d02"?
