Thanks Pilsnerquest. I posted the schoolyard bully at the other thread for ya.
Greywulf, I was just at your M20 site and was impressed again by all the work you have done with it. The site is very nicely laid out and clear. I love how it's all about choosing your favorites from a veritable buffet of options. Along those lines, I have a suggested project for you. (I know, like you don't have enough already.)
As I was reading through all the optional rules, I got to thinking. (It happens.) Wouldn't it be great if people could just choose the rules they want from a checklist, then select a BUILD button, and all the pieces they selected get pulled together into a single document? Then they can print out that document, stare at it lovingly, make copies, and hand it out to all their players.
Now I realize all this can already be done by spending an evening of cutting and pasting. But I think a feature like this would be unique, very popular, and should be doable without too much pain. Maybe a spreadsheet in Excel? Or at the website itself with some Javascript and XML skillz.
People would like the feeling of customization a Build Your Own System would provide. I can see them adding a campaign name to the finished document. "My M20 Rules for Dinklemoore Castle" or something.
