[QUOTE="Malacoda, post: 648122, member: 6345"] Does it have to be "crippled?" I didn't think the Deadlands mechanic was "horribly implemented," but I certainly did think much of it. So, I would much rather have a d20 version, if I was inclined to play the game. Not sure why that is a problem. Any game that has mechanics I don't particularly like, that would work reasonably well via d20. That is good enough for me. Not everyone approaches the hobby the same way. Some people are entertained by such explorations. They enjoy tinkering with rules and fiddling with games, and converting one set of rules to another is the ultimate tinkering. Why go through all that effort? Because they think it is fun! Besides, there is another reason: if a system is converted to d20, you possibly open up the game to a more broad range of support. There is a ton of d20 stuff out there, and some games aren't supported that well, or aren't supported in the same way. And finally, some people find a rule set that just absolutely does it for them. Just ask some GURPS or Hero fans. They really like a set of mechanics and see no reason to play games with other mechanics, unless their chosen rules simply don't handle it well at all. [/QUOTE]
