[QUOTE="Belegbeth, post: 1543462, member: 17228"] Thanks for the great feedback everyone! A pity that there's not more interest in a "rules lite" version of DnD. I find it amazing that there are not more people out there who want a "rules lite" version of the game where the focus can be on plot and character, rather than the nth volume of extra feats, spells, PrClasses... (okay, rant is over ;) ) Case study: Steve Jackson games managed to post a free PDF for "GURPS Lite" (vastly superior to GURPS, IMO). I doubt it has hurt overall sales for GURPS products (probably the opposite). Why can't there be a d20 equivalent?!? (It doesn't have to be free -- I'd pay $30 for a d20 "Cylcopedia"...) Here are some of my thoughts on the earlier posts... Whisper72: it is nice to know that I'm not alone! ;) Rokonin: yep, I know about WRPG, and am looking foward to Green Ronin's 2nd edition. Sigil: your project looks very interesting, but it is somewhat different from what I'm looking for (I think, based on my quick survey of the link you posted). I'm not interested in an "introduction" to d20 -- I want an alternative "lite" d20 rules. But I need to look over your product in more detail once I have more time (and sorry if I misread your post). Mouseferatu: what you're working on looks like exactly what I'm looking for! Dammit, why isn't your product published already (with illustrations by Jeff Dee and Erol Otus)? :p The Modern d20 rules are all in one book. Was that so hard? Why can't WotC do the same for fantasy? :\ [/QUOTE]
