Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinth" data-source="post: 1513637" data-attributes="member: 497">Why not?  There are only three classes: Grog, Companion & Magus.  Levels are irrelevant; using BESM d20 as a development model is a good idea here.Deadlands was a deliberately bad effort done as a propaganda move because Shane hates d20 and wanted to "prove" it by "showing" that Deadlands isn't suitable.  Put Deadlands in the hands of a man that knows d20 and you'll get a damn fine translation, much like the new Adventure! book or d20 CoC.Play the game.  Low-level d20 CoC characters are weaker than their BRP counterparts, making the game more horrifying--not less--and level advancement is entirely arbitrary by default- your PC advances when the GM says that he does, and no sooner.  Again, a loss of control that makes the game more horrifying.  High-level PCs never get out of from under because the Massive Damage Threshold is fixed at 10, so failing those saves are only a matter of time (either you blow a check or you run out of your small HP total; the effect is still that your PCs aren't more prone to fight it out).It's not for you.  As Andrew Bates just stated at RPG Net, it's aimed at the majority of folks that passed on the Storyteller versions.  That said, the one published book--Adventure!--is one hell of a faithful and competant transfer from Storyteller to d20; the WWGS/S&SS folks know their stuff.Over the last three and a half years, we've seen people take the d20 System and make it do--successfully--things that nay-sayers proclaimed that it can't do this or that: CoC, T20, BESM d20, M&M (w/o the d20 logo) and the line of Mongoose's OGL books prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is not so- it can do anything.  Past this point, the continued insistance of saying that d20 can't do a thing is more demonstrative of the sayer's disconnection to reality than anything else.</blockquote>
