A brief summarisation of the project

[HearMeRoar]

This project is a standardised version of the 3.5 rules of D&D, which has been styled as D&D Synergy, or 3.S (catchy...isn't it?)

With the popularity of various RPG forums on the vast expanse of the internets, it occured to me that many people are eager to roleplay their favourite series, games, etc. (One such example being this forum)

That in turn got me thinking; why use a forum when there's a perfectly good D20 system not being used?

As such, I began this project, issuing a call-to-arms, to help me construct a unified D20 fandom project, creating rulesets (or "builds", as I've found myself calling them in my notes) for each of the universes that players would want to play with.

This will use the 3.5 rules as a basic (as they are, to date, the best and most popular rules) and will not utilise 4th edition rules, although any decent components of 4th Ed may be converted. Not only this, but I want to gather the best features of 3.5 in to one place, such as action points and the culture system from Ravenloft. They will also incorporate aspects from D20 modern.

In any case, not only do I want to try and do builds for each universe, but I want to do them in a way that they can be synergised. This achieves two goals:

1. It assures that each universe's builds are balanced against each other.

2. It allows the formation of a "Smash Bros." style build to accompany the project.

In the meantime, I'll put up sections and offer support for any fandom you want to contribute to and I'll be working on getting a wiki sorted to more easily compile submissions and contributions.

And finally, I'll also be happy to provide support and room for original projects, also.

I'd like to ask if it would be possible to add in factors from other variants of the D20 system. Such as things like a few modified rules from 3rd ed (like the jumping rules) and the possibility of including things like Wounds & Vitality, Action Dice and such.

maybe we could work on parts of it like a modular system, so GM's can choose what they want in their builds.

By all means, that's the point of the project ^_^

Propose them and give us a run down of how they work. Then we'll discuss and put to a vote.

Even assuming they don't get in to the default ruleset, we'll still keep them on file to go in a supplement or they can be used for a different build.
