[QUOTE="Matt Snyder, post: 3136062, member: 11840"] Hi, I recently created an alterative experience system for D&D/d20. The system is goal-oriented, allowing players to select their character's goals, earn generous modifiers toward their completion, and reap XP rewards upon completion. The effect is a speedier progression, more effective characters, and a little less overall control on the game world by the GM.
