[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1481242, member: 158"] I think an interesting opinion discussion is what you got INSTEAD of the answer to your poll. The answers don't fit the exact opinion, nor come close, of the people who answered. Wormwood might have been the only person happy with his choice in the poll. :D I've often found that polls are too narrow for the answer that the person asking the question seeks. In most answers here, it seems that d20 is not the favorite system, but ONE of the favorites, meaning they are just as happy playing other things. My group plays d20 variant games, but also Feng Shui, Alternity, and Continuum, as well as Magic the Gathering, and Battletech. There's a huge gap between "it's my favorite" and "not my fave, I just play it because there's support and I can find players." Possibly Alternity might be my favorite, because of the wound tracks implementation if nothing else - it gives the feeling of multiple levels of hurt, as well as the ability for body armor to stop a serious wound, and also for body armor to be blown away by superior firepower, all without dice pools, damage soaking, and things which games like Shadowrun is celebrated for, but I just can't really get into. Even then, I'd like to put Alternity's wound tracks into D&D as the default instead of hit points, because it's such a good fit for heroic yet semi-realistic wounds. [/QUOTE]
