Strengths & Weaknesses of D20

From: "Tangent"

Strengths: the system is simple, but complete. The standardized "d20+bonus
against DC" really binds the system together. Plus the "Open Gaming Licence"
has and will continue to produce some really great 3rd-party products. This
connot be said of other widespread games, like WhiteWolf's "world of
darkness", GURPS and Palladium. Plus, soon there'll
be d20D&D, d20StarWars, and d20Dune. And that's just the official ones.
Which means tons & tons of source material.


Weaknesses: Seems that official products will mostly be Hack 'n' Slash for a
while, untill they build up a new consumer base that will want real
"roleplaying" material.

That's all I can think of.
