[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1241781, member: 151"] There are and have been plenty of Open RPGs out there, such as the [url="http://www.action-system.com/downloads.html"]Action! System[/url], for example. d20 wasn't the first, but it is the most popular, by a wide margin. Some enjoy a great following, and like the AS and [url="http://www.fudgerpg.com/fudge/"]FUDGE[/url], enjoy some degree of popularity and have seen print. The [url="http://www.fuzion.org/"]Fuzion system[/url] is the merging of the Hero system and R. Talosorian's Interlock system, and has a couple of games released (such as [url="http://www.sengoku.com/faq.html"]Sengoku[/url]). However, d20 powers the 800 lb. gorilla of gaming, D&D. It is much easier to get someone to try, say d20 Modern, than it is to get them to try something like Blue Planet. More importantly, it's much easier to convince retailers to carry a d20 game than other games, as it already has critical mass.
