The core of our game is a stable core rules system (no rules subsets) with a degree of success scale for most rolls, exclusively using percentile dice, where all character stats use the same scale (0 - 100) so all stats can be used interchangeably.  The goal is to make a system that adapts quickly and easily to any situation, so you have the tools to rule anything you want to try without flipping through a rulebook.  I want the streamlined, detailed mechanics of a modern RPG but with the ability to do anything I can describe easily like I could in 2e D&D.So far it's worked really well.  I've tested it with about 15 players total, with varying levels of play experience, and one of the things I've heard from most players is how easy it is to learn because the core mechanic handles everything.  It's not the fastest system yet, but it's too early to judge that yet since the system is still in it's infancy.I don't want to get into the details of my system because that isn't what this thread is about, and because every example I give would require me to explain several things, each of which would require me to explain several more things.  Suffice to say I've never been happy with the products that are out there, I feel that I can do better and I feel strongly enough that I'm willing to stake my life savings and most of my free time for several years on it.  So while I appreciate your support or criticism, at this point what I'm really looking for from this thread is a general discussion of what would make you buy a new system, so that I may learn from it.For me it would be an adaptable system where creativity and description matter, and that can work in any era because I like to run campaigns from all different time periods, but I hate having to own different rule systems for every era and also hate hoping that my players (who are all in their late 20's to early 30's) not only have the free time to play each week, but also to learn a new rule system for every campaign.how about you?</blockquote>
