[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 1513538, member: 530"] Hi RangerWickett, I'm not very active here much these days and I used to be maybe some 8 months or so back. Mostly it was just a shift of interest. I'm interested more in non-d20 games these days and I spend a little bit of time at the Forge ( [url]www.indie-rpgs.com[/url] ), but mostly just lurking. The d20 stuff that keeps coming out just isn't all that interesting to me as I look for different things out of an rpg than d20 tends to focus on. Even from the start I was always trying to think of ways to modify d20 to get it to do what I wanted instead of being able to use it as it is. Of course, d20 could be used in different ways to pursue different interests but I get the sense that there is kind of a d20 "culture" among publishers such that really bold stuff taking a very different direction just hasn't really happened yet (nor do I think there's really a need for it either). However, for every person like me who has mostly or wholy drifted away, it seems like there have been two that have come since. :) EDIT: P.S. The things that I would miss most were I still visiting frequently were the long threads initiated by mmadsen and SHARK from time to time. [/QUOTE]
