[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1506094, member: 4134"] OK, I'll bite. Even though I know I'm dealing with a troll, I'll post (but I'll use fire so he won't stand up) *Casts flaming post [COLOR=Red] *Casted flaming post Yes, of course. The name wouldn't make sense for an accounting simulation where you take charge of a sports club's profits and expanses. There is no such thing as a perfect system. And then they invented AD&D, where the A stood for advanced. Advanced were only the restrictions you had with your character, and the expanses you had to endure to get books that worked around said restrictions So you can't be a power gamer without levels or XP? No, as long as D&D is D&D, it will have levels, classes, XP. Yet, the system can be adapted to the RPG, which has been done. No, they used d20 - They choose to use a wide-spread, easy and well-balanced system which is given away for free by the creator. And it is used for nothing else. d20 Doesn't disguise its origins, they don't deny that d20 originates from OD&D and AD&D, just as the current D&D is based on d20. D&D isn't generic. d20 is. I am one of the people who scorn AD&D. I play d20 and D&D happily. And that's because they got rid of all the nonsense that was the A in AD&D. I'm playing both D&D 3.5e and d20 (d20 Modern and Star Wars d20). And note that there is no such thing as AD&D 3rd Edition. It's D&D again, now. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
