y'know, this d20 discussion REALLY belongs on the d20 list... why don't we move it there?

In my honest opinion, the best solution might be a non-WotC driven "100% d20" movement, as a way of pointing out those games that take all of the D20SRD without removing or substantially altering any of it; new items of similar balance to the standard items (new spells, new magical items) would be allowable, and even new classes, but no drastic *mandatory* changes to the rules (thus, you could have a spell-point based system, but it would have to be an option...) If the liscense were to be changed at all, I'd suggest adding a requirement to list the changes from the D20SRD... or from the PHB. As a consumer I would expect such a nod anyway, and a summary table or chapter would only help me appreciate the d20 product. DM Looking for a game? I DM in Upstate NY, twice a month at Artemis Games in New Hartford, NY (a suburb of Utica) Even better, I've got irregular games where I live, in Charlton (near Albany). Drop me a line and we'll game!
