And house rules are pretty common. I will grant you their are some things about DnD I dont really like...or rather that I often dont like. Magic in DnD is very rigid. its not bad, and I like it but I'd like to have other options.  If you want the truth the thing is I like DnD a lot, and the other alternatives all have maybe one thing thats quite a bit better, but I hate everything else. DnD is SUPPOSED to be custimizable anyway...people do it all the time. thats why theirs a "House Rules" forum on this site. some of the people over there really have heavily reworked things, but its still DnD.  Most of my beefs are largely RP/storyline/flavour related. Especialy the alignment stuff. thats not a game balance issue. the alignment restrictions especialy are holdovers from earlier editions of the game. And interestingly in the polls I've done about that and related simliar subjects...most people agree with me.  As I've said so many times before, their is and can be no "perfect" RPG. However I think DnD/D20 comes about as close as possible. Its a good base and a few refinements can make it near-perfect for just about anyone.</blockquote>
