Egads, we haven't got it in for you. We just having a healthly discussion.
To move back moment, As I understand it I can provide the following under
the D20STL
New Classes, New Races, New Feats, New Skills, New Wound Mechanic. What I
can not say is roll 4d6, drop the lowest. Select your characters race from
section A and apply racial mods, Class from section B, all characters start
at 3rd level.
Under OGL I could and also add a section on perks & flaws. I could also
replace the experience system and put in its place a 'lifepath' system
(similar to Traveller & Cyberpunk 2020) that has a chart per class that
includes entires such as
'10. Spent tour of duty in the miltary police. 3 skill points to spend on
any of the following (max +2): Carousing, Blunt, Brawling, Drive, Gambling,
Intimidation, Investigate, Knowledge (Ball Sports)'
With minimal experience after character generation.

and one I hope Ryan can answer soon.
