So I guess Pulp Cthulhu is never coming out-- which sucks because great names were attached to it.Isn't d20 publisher Louis Porter, Jr. on record saying he doesn't like d20? Does he post on these boards?I don't recall John Wick saying he hated d20, he just said it was nothing more and nothing less than another task resolution mechanic. Which, of course, is true of just about everything.A lot of guys seem to come out against d20 and almost just seem to be railing against "the Man," because of WotC's size. Like, "I'll never sell out and play D&D, those guys screwed Gygax." It seems silly to me. I know people who won't see movies with certain actors because they don't like their politics, and I've always been mystified by the inability to separate the art from the artists.I love d20, it's modular and it works, but I'll admit that when I recently heard some punk kid lament that "the new Warhammer FRP should have been d20," I wanted to kneecap him. On the other hand, those I game/write with and I are so consumed with the d20 thing we haven't even tried playing the new Warhammer yet, even though we loved Warhammer FRP so much the first time and were excited about the new one-- so, maybe people like me are why some people hate d20.</blockquote>
