[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5418729, member: 75712"] I completely agree with this. Such a rule book doesn't need any setting-specific ifo, and, imho, shouldn't. The only issue is that "a stripped down version of 3.5" Isn't quite as clear cut as one would think, and is actually still pretty hefty without fair bit of weeding. There are quite a few places in the rules where you can't just go "chop!" and be left with E6. It's easy enough to overlook at the table, or even handle in an open format like a webpage, but print is a lot more restrictive. I'm certainly not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it will likely be a bit different than what I or any one person envision as "E6". It'll be it's own thing, instead.Oh, design decisions aren't a show stopper at all! They're just, by necessity, judgment calls on the publisher's part which may or may not mesh with others' E6 implementations. Of course, a publisher will have professional designers available, so hopefully their implementation would be good. Plus, an open playtest is a great idea to resolve that kind of thing out, though. Sign me up. :) Again, I agree completely. I can already smell that new-book smell.... [/QUOTE]
