It sounds like it's similar to what Sigil did in some respects, but it has some substantial differences as well. It'll be a full 20-level game, four races, four primary classes, four "advanced" classes. It has a skill system far simpler than that in the core rules--in fact, some people might not even call it a skill system at all. It has no feats, but some of the feats have snuck back in as class abilities. This isn't meant to be a "better" game than D&D--but I'm very much shooting for a Red Box version of the current rules.It's got some "Expert Option" rules, for increased customization and the like. But played at its simplest, most basic level, it's very much a "roll your stats, choose your equipment, pick your spells if you're a caster, and start playing" game.Monster stat blocks are half the size of those of 3E, and I've actually hit on a system that removes the need for CR, because the HD of a monster really does indicate its power level; across the board, a 4-HD monster is roughly the equal of a 4th-level character.Now I just need to hammer it into sufficient shape to show potential publishers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
