Ok, the site's (d20openrpg.com) been up for a while and development continues. This blog is intended to be an easier place to discuss design and development subjects than where it was happening before, via Facebook posts.
So, what is this about? Have you checked out d20openrpg.com yet? Well we're hard at work developing what we like to call a "next generation d20" game system. Most of the elements already exist as Open Game Content via the d20 Modern System Reference Document, and the Pathfinder Reference Document. You see, this game system is intended to take the best elements of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and merge them with some of the more interesting elements of the d20 Modern ruleset, as well as merge in a few other elements inspired by the Star Wars Saga Edition rule set.
This is the first post, simply letting everyone know what the purpose of this blog is. Successive posts will be more detailed discussing various rules elements currently being developed. This system is meant to be a fully community built game system, so it can only accomplish that if you, the community get involved. You can do that by commenting on the various rules elements discussed in each post giving your feedback pro or con on the area being discussed, and if you like, even join the team so you can help shape this.
Ok, that's enough for the kick-off post. The next post will get right into the system.
In case you haven't checked it out yet, head on over to d20openrpg.com and poke around a bit. See what you think!
Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
