What old system would that be?  WW was designed as a d20 system.

And the Periodic Table of the Elements has even more than that.  It's a
game, lighten up.  And learn the difference between medal and metal while
your at it.

You're Canadian?  What a surprise.  Taking work away from our hard working
American goalies, no doubt :-)

What about those "Norse Canadians" who settled Auxierre Meadows in
Newfoundland?  What about Canadians who emigrated from Sweden in the 19th
century?  What if the runes are the only bloody magic system that actually
works?  Is national pride going to forbid a character from using a MG42?
No?  Then why not the runes?

I defy anyone to diagram this sentence.

If I read it correctly, double-negatives and all, you would seem to think
that the SoS were the only mystical and secret society, which is clearly
counter-indicated by the rules.

So?  If you don't like things, change them.  If you change them enough,
maybe you'll have a new design on your hands.  Then you can put it in the
market and see how it does against WW.

In the meantime, a bit less griping, soldier, don'tchaknow there's a war on?
