I refuse to buy anything associated with D20. Yet I am playing veru
fun characters in both DnD 3.5 and a couple of Star Wars games (or
was, but that is a whole different gripe). In all three cases, I
wrote a story and character description. Then I gave them to the GM
and said, "You see what I am going for, please generate stats."
Worked great.

Granted, you have to possess the imagination and willingness to play
characters who sometimes hasn't realized their full potential (aka
your vision for them) at the outset. I have rejected more than one
character concept because the player brought me a runner concept at
the end of a career, not the beginning.
