Just curious what other game systems do people play besides D&D? Such as Castles & Crusades, Swords and Sorcery etc… And what system is close to a D&D style game?

What does this have to do with Future Releases for Dungeons & Dragons?

play C&C, it is rules light, VERY cheap, you only need 2 books! and it has that old school feel, and is compatible with every form of DnD.

Let's face it, if WizCo goes the way TSR did these WILL be the future editions.

In fact when TSR went to 2nd edition (what a lousy system THAT was) My entire group, and many others I knew, switched to GURPS. I still think GURPS is a superior system to d20 and would use it if I could get my current closed minded players to try it.

If 4th edition stinks (and rumors of what it will contain indicates it will-See ENWorlds 4th edition rumor list) we will either return to 3.0 or switch to GURPS again.

Good points, I will have to check out enworld.

You mean a different traditional fantasy-genre RPG? I played a little A Game of Throne RPG (from Guardians of Order).

A Game of Throne RPG, mechanics-wise.
