[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9024140, member: 11760"] One of the first things I look at when looking at a D&D-style RPG is whether I can play a traditional D&D illusionist in it, where there are gnomes and how much of the 3.5 SRD is woven through it, as it's a good lingua franca for fantasy RPGs to use, given how many people are familiar with WotC-era D&Disms. Shadowdark (which doesn't support player character illusionists or gnomes at the moment, to close that loop) has a fair amount of the SRD in it, but has also dumped a lot of it, often for simplicity's sake ([I]Cure Wounds [/I]doesn't need to be split into multiple versions, for instance) and also to focus it thematically. (There are other planes of existence in Shadowdark, given the existence of various types of outsider, but there's no indication of what those other planes are or how they're organized, because those doesn't matter for the experience the core game is trying to deliver.) On the other hand, it's also missing things like the Deck of Many Things and the Sword of Wounding, which I think both fit the flavor of the game very well. Are there things you wish had been brought forward from the 3.5 SRD?
