I started with Blue Rose and have finally moved on to True 20 just in time for the revised edition to come out. This edition combines the initial book and the Companion but drops out the example settings that were originally included in the Companion.

True 20 rocks! It's so much simpler than 3.x d20 but it keeps many of the concepts so people familiar with 3.x can jump in fairly quickly. I don't really like the wealth setting for a fantasy setting (and that's usually what I play) and I also keep using experience points but other than that it's exactly what I'm looking for in a rpg.

I haven't tried 4th edition D&D yet but it sounds like Mr. Kenson was way ahead of the game and that they have taken many of his ideas for the newest version of "the world's most popular role playing game".

Forgot to mention the reason that it got 4 instead of 5 stars is I think they should have spent some time and combined things like Powers and Feats into a single section instead of having them spread out throughout the book. Also some of the concepts seem to contradict each other a bit and maybe reuse wording for two different concepts. ( )
