It would take about 40 lines of text to make D20 "core" a complete
game.   Lack of background "fluff" text does not make an incomplete
game.  Go have a look see at _any_ set of war game rules some time.

Granted You would have to assume that the player had some idea what a role
playing game was, but the current posted D20SRD plus the "create a
character/go up a level" rules would be a complete game.
