Can I post regular fanart? It's what you get when you cross Star Wars and anime. hehe

 

@Jodocast 5: Is that pic of Aayla from the movie?

[Does anyone else share my dislike of d20?]

I've enjoyed playing Exalted myself, but I wouldn't say it's without its flaws, though it is certainly better than d20 to near-infinite degrees! For one thing, the difference between the usage of 'freebie points' during character creation and the use of xp during the actual game brings about an awful lot of min/maxing...

 

No, it definitely has flaws, namely min/maxing by munchkins. Of course the game is based partially on the mechanics from the old WOD series.

 

d20 doesn't use character creation with point-costs, but that's not to say it doesn't have flaws there. No, one thing I really dislike in d20 is the way you must effectively decide your entire progression of abilities and particularly feats, if you're going to make the most of the rules. While planning ahead should always be rewarded in RPGs (and always will be), I don't need the system to encourage a philosophy, where I'm actually rewarded for effectively deciding my character's progression through levels 1 to 20+ during character creation. In d20 you earn xp and then buy whatever you want when advancing. I'd much rather have the skills you actually used in the last adventure improve, as they did in 5th edition Call of Cthulhu. Why should my wizard get better at hitting a troll with his staff, if all ever does is to lob spells at the monsters, and hasn't used his staff once in the last seven adventures? Peculiar idea...

Thats one thing I hate about all these class-based RPG games. Instead of treating the character like a person, its more like they are robots getting upgrades plugged into them.

hehe. I know its only a system, but theres better ways of doing things.

d20 sucks. Classes are really stupid. Theres only this that and the other class. Well what if I want to play a sex-slave or something like that? 'Oh well you cant be that, you'd probly have to be a thief/scoundrel/whatever' And there theirs the prestige classes where you have to get so many class levels before you get to be able to choose an advanced class... "What theres no Head-harem Girl?" lol d20 is dated, even with revisions, it needs to be retired.

 

I agree with everything that the originator of this post mentioned. While Im not a big fan of GURPS (it in itself is a bit clunky), but it is definitely a big improvement over d20.

 

And no, d20 wasnt made to be made to be easily reworked... have you looked at the millions of tables they have in those books? They have to have several different books, all of them near-dictionary size in thickness just to contain all the rules... where-as GURPS, WoD, and a couple others only have ONE book for the actual rules, everything else is setting supplements.

 

I think if youre gonna do a fantasy setting, or a scifi setting, the game engine for Exalted (white-wolf studios) is one of the best.
