[QUOTE="Terath Ninir, post: 3306435, member: 47"] The question is not "should you try to do another system than d20?" The question is "WHY do you want to try to do a system other than d20?" If you are answer is, "Because d20 sucks!!!!", then you're not doing it for the right reason. I've been working, on and off, on a completely new game system, from the ground up. It's not because I think d20 sucks. It's because I have found specific things that I feel d20 can't do the way I want it to. It works in fundamentally different ways to do fundamentally different things than d20 does. But, then again, I wouldn't use it to do a dungeon crawl -- that's something that I'm not designing it to do. It is as unlikely that any system will "take down" D&D as it is that anyone will ever take down Microsoft. They're the market leader and they're going to stay that way. But that's not to say that someone couldn't make a (relatively) successful, interesting niche product. [/QUOTE]
