[QUOTE="Storm Gorm, post: 1170086, member: 14327"] Sorry i havent been around, ive not been paying attention. 1. Very interesting discussion this has evolved to, however, this stuff about Storyteller mechanics is a rather lengthy digression, and, frankly, dull (personally, i have zero experience with it). 2. I must say! A week ago, i had never believed that i would ever manage my anger over d20, but you have greatly softened my headache over d20 DnD through your replys! Cursed be thy!, i was quite comfortable being angry and upset. It was my impression of the DnD-people (you people, and my players) that was maladjusted. I had the idea that using rules as merely tools were unorthodox, and therefore i distanced myself to the game, which obviously was wrong, i shall rather distance myself to the people who dont play the way i like. 3. Still, there are several points i have kept as objections to d20, one of which is that there is too much focus on realism (using a 20-sided die gives room for VERY exessive detail) on the expence of game flow. And another point, which to me is the most heavy argument in me preferring FUDGE to d20: FUDGE has few, very translatable core words (much more based on words than any game ive seen, [it uses adjectives from Terrible to Superb to resolve stuff]) so that the entire mechanics-part of the game (the skeleton which holds it all up above the dust, if you wish) is faded to almost transparency, which is GREAT for a game that is intended to focus on story, like i want to make.
