[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3313843, member: 2205"] Indeed it is. Lots more interesting points of discussion than just your question too, but I presume there's probably already another thread floating around for those. :cool: Yeah, actually pretty much. I decided quite some time ago--back when the d20 [i]Call of Cthulhu[/i] game was released, actually--that d20 could do anything I wanted it to after all, and the ability to cross-pollinate products from Star Wars, Cthulhu, D&D and any other source trumped any reservations I might have with the system. Some of those reservations have come back over the years since, but they've largely been addressed by alternate rules that I've seen in various products. [i]Unearthed Arcana[/i] single-handedly enabled me to bridge most of my reservations, actually. [i]d20 Modern[/i] did a fair amount too. So, would I play another game? Sure, absolutely. With pleasure. There are even some that I'd really like to play, such as WFRP2. However, if I never played anything other than d20 again would I be happy? Yep, probably so. The only exception to that is that I use a slighly modified version of The Window--because of it's bare-bones simplicity--to run games for my kids. The Window is a pretty neat system if you don't care about system really. You have to put up with a fair bit of elitist latte set gamer lectures at the beginning of the game (which even the designer appears to be embarrassed by now) but other than that, it's the only thing other than d20 I've played in a long time.
