There’s an old adage about slapping lipstick on the bed and making a beauty queen. I would hardly call the successful d20 system a pig, but MyD20Lite Player’s Guide certainly does not add much more than a variant d20 system that is no lighter than Fantasycraft or Trailblazer.
Do not be confused, MyD20 adds a few interesting new variants to the d20 world and is a nice little system if feat customization is as made you a bit drained. But you will be greatly disappointed if you are looking for the second coming of the light d20 RPG.
Md20 Lite has marketed itself in a corner. If you claim to be a light RPG, you have to greatly decrease the amount of time everything in the game takes. Scouring the 113-page, Samaradan Press publication, you will recognize familiar customer creation with some slight modifications.
Instead of a chart that displays the formula for saves, each class receives a specific bonus to saves that accumulates with their level Instead of feats, players select talents from a limited pool for their class. Instead of races having ability bonuses, players receive the same amount of points to put into their abilities, but each race has a minimum score that certain abilities may be. Skills are slightly reduced and combined to 15. Combat is suppose to take less time, but they simply do not use a tactical map, an alternative for most systems.
For the DM
There are some major changes that adds an identity to MyD20 Lite as not another system clone. They are one of the first variants to have a working easy to use spellpoint system. Which is long overdue in the mainstream d20 world.
The Iron Word
MyD20 Lite is a nice alternative system that creates a self contained system free from tactical maps, feats and the Vatican spell system. However, it not quite the lite RPG system it claims to be. I have never been supportive of the excuse of “d20 glut”, which the writer says is the inspiration for MyD20 Lite. If there are too many options in the d20 world, limit those options. Myd20 Lite tends to rename or readjust part of the system, not quite limiting any time.
