[WW] No more WW D20?



According to a fairly extensive interview in Games Unplugged, "Weird War 
II" will remain D20, but the rest of the Weird Wars line will use a new 
Pinnacle House System. While I respect the right of Pinnacle to do as they 
wish with their products, and I hope they are succesful, I will state that 
I am disappointed. I understand the reasoning expressed in the article; I 
just think it is incorrect, and more can be done with the D20 system than 
Shane seems to think. (I offer D20 CoC and D20 Spycraft as examples; one 
makes D20 extremely lethal and low-powered, the other allows for 
over-the-top spy action that does not 'feel' like a dungeon crawl in a tuxedo.)

I'll keep buying D20 Weird Wars products, but it's unlikely I'll buy any 
for the new system. There's a REASON I have GURPS Swashbucklers, Pulp, and 
Japan sourcebooks but no stand-alone games in those genres. That same 
reason causes me to prefer to buy D20 products over stand-alone. I get more 
value for my dollar if a product works with more of my existing game library.
