[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5043413, member: 80487"] Here is what Hussar actually wrote: Love that double standard. "The plethora of variant d20 systems shows how rubust d20 was for running all sorts of different D&D style campaigns." But somehow, when it came to AD&D ... "Departing from those assumptions resulted in massive problems as evidenced by the tome sized binders of house rules out there." What? Shouldn't those books likewise show how robust AD&D was for running all sorts of different D&D style campaigns?
