Careful, Jay.  We of the Emperor's First Legion may just have to make you
eat those words with your puppy chow

As for D20, Well, I have the DL d20 version rather than the original
version.  But the reason that I got it was because in all honesty, I'd
rather learn a new addon to a system that I already knew than learn yet
another entirely new game system (I already have something like 20 systems
that I play...)  But for me, the fact is that I got DL for the setting.  To
me, the system doesn't matter that much as long as the setting is good.
