the word from Anders was hmmm , well best not use
those 2 words in one sentence

> shadowrun and d20 system

i play many systems , from dc heroes to all eds of "the
other system ", i was fairly impressed with d20 but not to
the extent of other true one dice systems , star wars (west
end) managed only using d6s as did shadowrun , V:tm gets by
only using d10s , d20 doesn't make it , you still use weird
dice for damage ,

i say weird cos' i RP with an experienced group and a
novice group , with the experienced group it's okay people
are so used to thinking RP systems that after the initial,
okay what are the rules stage it's flying free , but the
novice group it gets bogged down to what does the d10 look
like ?

real rp systems use one dice , after all it's not about the
rules (most gm's change them anyway) but rather about the
tales and adventures , d20 started of right but went to hell
with detail , i s'pose someone had to keep the dice
companies in business
