[QUOTE="Hjorimir, post: 3627198, member: 5745"] No, what you did was spend three rounds creating some kind of giant flaming sphere. The Quickstart rules are just a peek of the True20 system and offer a brief introduction to the system. To base True20 on only the Quickstart rules is tantamount to judging a book by its cover. My group has found it far more simplistic to navigate uncharted territory with True20 than D&D. Well, I can't argue your experience, but the game [i]is[/i] highly flexible and, IME, incredibly more simple and streamlined than what D&D offers. I guess experiences vary. First you're talking about players wanting control over their powers, which they already have plenty of in True20's RAW. There is no significant work required there.
