[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6242901, member: 6677017"] Yeah I can understand that. It sounds like it's just more of the same. I'd probably get burnt out if my DM was cycling through all the OSR retroclones just to see how the subtle differences played out. How would it work if your group had only played D&D and Star Wars d20, and your DM wanted to try FATE and Savage Worlds? (Just an example, that doesn't represent my group.) True. I suppose part of it has to do with how much additional work is put on the player. If you're given 10 hours of homework, or just as bad, have to spend three sessions on character creation before actually playing, I don't think I'd go for that. As a DM, I usually try to minimize player time investment. I'll premake characters, tell them what they might want to read ahead of time (and assume most of them won't) and plan for a 10-30 minute review/presentation of what they need to know to get started in the first session, and then have us learn as we go.
