And I don't think it was ill-advised - without that, I might never have gotten into L5R!But many do. Myself included. So I totaly understand what Freehold DM is talking about, although I never visited their forums.
Actually, I side with Kae on this. It would be one thing if the books were entirely in d20 format, but they most certainly were not, as that I something I KNOW the Alderac staff would NOT stand for. I thought it was beautiful to look at both systems from a gaming standpoint- one put its emphasis on dealing damage, while the other put the emphasis on actually hitting your target. I enjoyed the difference in philosophies, and thought that d20 could bring people who played disparate systems together. If not for the collector's edition of A Game Of Thrones, I would never have even touched GURPS again after my poor experiences with it all those years ago.
That said, the boards at the time were a bloodbath. Dis, you should be happy you missed it. I consider myself rather thick skinned, yet even I began to feel ashamed to be associated with these people after a while. I'm glad to say those times are over, although d20 has few fans on their forums. Check them out if you have the time- as well as their STELLAR fiction!

I don't know... he did very well on Jepardy, amassing a huge amount of money, before lossing it all on the final Jepardy question (which was IIRC about the US Postal Service or something else that he should have known).
No, it was a movie question... something about Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, I think.

<G> I love that answer.
Scratch what I said about the Charlie Brown rip. It just ain't so.
I have the Welcome Back Kotter boardgame from the 70's. If you win it you take this green plastic hose segment, hold it up, and shout, "Up your nose with a rubber hose!"
Please tell me this is true. Because I so want it to be true.

Trey, I absolutely swear to you that every word of it is true. It had cards you read when you landed on certain spaces. Stuff like: "Woodman sends you to detention. Go back three spaces."
