Thanks Rotwang!

I really believe that awesomeness can be achieved with most if not all RPG systems. One of my all time favorites are Paranoia and BESM and those system’s mechanics area lot simpler.

I am getting tired of some aspects of d20: Prestige Classes, endless core classes, Spell Resistance,….

But I’m enjoying the cool parts way more than the bad ones. My players are not power mongering min-maxers (Well Yan is, a bit, but he always creates amazingly cool characters)and the system allows me to do what I need it to do.

I’m glad you seem to be enjoying the blog in spite of the overwhelming D&D 3.x vibe.

…

ha.

You know, Phil…you’re an interesting guy, to me. You’re an interesting guy becuase it looks like we’re both after the same thing, but we are coming at it from totally opposite directions.

F’r'ex, I’m not down with the d20 anymore, at ALL. I’m a C&C convert — mostly because it’s not so crunchy-munchy (I heart GURPS and HERO, too, but I play those less these days). And I go into a game with little, if any, prep at all.

But the tale is told like this: our opposite styles still seem to manage the same result. As far as I can tell, you must be pretty rockin’ when you run your game, and I hear tell that my games are fairly OK too.

So! What can we learn from this? Gaming is like a reeese’s cup.

No wrong way.
