What is True20?

[Menexenus]

Over the last month or so, I've seen numerous references to something called "True20." So today I took a trip to my FLGS to look for it, and I found nothing in the store with that title. I assume True20 is a d20 game? Is it PDF only? Who publishes it? What are its main advantages/disadvantages over other systems?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Sorry for being so ignorant. I try to keep up... Really, I do...

True20 is a simplified generic D20 fantasy system. It is PDF only, but will be coming out in print eventually. It uses the generic classes from Unearthed Arcana, and uses the Mutants & Masterminds damage save mechanic. Blue Rose uses a version of it.

You can find it here: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4967&SRC=GreenRonin

It's the rules variant used in Blue Rose by Green Ronin. The actual rules proved to be far more popular than the setting (at least here and at RPG.net), so Green Ronin decided to release the rules as a stand alone book, but with new settings as well.
