[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3824367, member: 2205"] Gaming is my hobby. D&D is like the occasionally fun to hang around with, occasionally great in the sack, but otherwise often frustrating and possibly psychotic girl you dated in your twenties. I have fond memories of it. I have fun with it from time to time even now. But I certainly don't think of it as my favorite game, or my only game. However, I don't necessarily think that I'm promiscuous. Rather; I'm [i]trying[/i] to find the ideal, Holy Grail system that I'll never have to switch from ever again because it does everything I want perfectly. I just haven't been able to do so yet. d20 overall is a pretty close substitute for me in the meantime. No matter what kind of setting I think sounds interesting, I tend to think first in terms of a d20 execution of it. My patience with learning all new systems has dropped tremendously over the last few years. Since d20 [i]Call of Cthulhu[/i], I think. I think I always told myself that if d20 could reflect CoC well, then it could reflect anything to my satisfaction. I still have some lingering issues with parts of it, but by and large that's been true; I haven't had any disatisfaction using d20 to run everything from horror to fantasy to spacefaring swashbuckling action to pulp and dinosaurs. Therefore, I'm pretty ambivalent about 4e too. Maybe it'll fine tune d20 in a way that I can apply those refinements to other d20 games. If so, then it'll be much more interesting to me than if it's simply a refinement of [i]D&D[/i] that doesn't apply outside the D&D scope. [/QUOTE]
