[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 5415623, member: 29112"] Lemme see here... You needn't fit in the new or old school. Someone else out there is bound to dislike any given thing that you do (same goes for like) - probably quite a few. There are plenty of other "heretics" around, including some among the "old school community", and some among the "new school community" - yes, even on (online) forums. Rather than starting from scratch, I agree that kitbashing/house-ruling is the way to go. And no, choosing sides is totally unnecessary, as is limiting yourself to either extreme, at any stage - unless, y'know, you [I]want[/I] to. ;) [I]Many[/I], and I happen to be one of them. :D Seriously, the number of posts, and even threads, I've seen - even just on these forums - that were along similar lines... well, you're not alone, it would seem, suffice it to say. :) Perhaps a minority have bothered to post *all* (?) of their preferences/ideas in one go, or at all, but hey, nothing wrong with that. If anything, it might help others to post better suggestions. For just one example of how you can go about mixing "old and new schools", there's RCFG (Raven Crowking's Fantasy Game). While it wouldn't quite suit you - it still has Diplomacy, doesn't have "powers", [I]per se[/I], and so on - perhaps you'd find it interesting to see what can be done, mixing and matching, in a D&D kinda way.
