I confess, I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over 20 years and have enjoyed the "old" system, but the overhaul on to 3rd edition was obviously a labor of love, and certainly well play-tested before going to print. And, with the Open Gaming License, many smaller companies can now produce wonderfully detailed worlds that are compatible with the D20 system, meaning you only need to learn one set of rules!
