I don't like training time.
There's enough to keep track of in a game without taking a time out to calculate how many hours a character has free to train. Keeping track of it on paper is also a ch ...

I don't see the need for a rule like this. A campaign wouldn't go on while a character is in prison for years, but I can see a character's background including being in prison for many years and just ...

One thing that I noticed (and maybe it isn't true in the new version) is that D20 is very combat-oriented. You can't become, for example, a great scientist without leveling up and leveling up means a ...

It's no worse than a lot of the other elements of Prequels...

That bad eh?

I don't want my last shred of fandom to die screaming in unimaginable agony.

So, I'm avoiding it.
