Trying to get more direct commentary from people about the Ons and Offs system, so please place suggestions here if you have any, thank you : )

D&D3.5e = D&D d20?
Also, I suppose it would be more convenient to arrange the D&D systems in chronological rather than alphabetic order.

I wonder, Veks, do you mean to leave all the D&D stuff folded together? I know D&D has a million worlds, but maybe list some of the more popular settings in there? For instance, I like Eberron and I don't mind Forgotten Realms, but maybe Dark Sun is right out? I know you said it's general, but I think it's sort of an important distinction for D&D... kind of like in the WoD. I have no idea about nWoD... I love WoD Mage... would not touch Werewolf without some serious convincing though.

Maybe that's too detailed.

I've heard Dark Sun is to be the next big 'official' world release. I honestly didn't think it was all that popular.

It was insanely popular. And also the only major RPG to ever draw from an African heritage that wasn't Egyptian - even Exalted doesn't.

This has given me some thoughts about what to do while designing Elliquiy's CMS, but for now I think I'll specify things as people ask for them, and then for the rewrite, if I can convince people to supporting me in making one, I can do collapsible divisions and so on.

Dark Sun was fun, especially for minorities who got a chance to play something that isn't white centric. Dragonlance was fun too, but it seems like a lot of work to take PnP games and separate them out. DnD isn't the only one with a fair amount of different settings/worlds attached to it.

     Is Big Breasts Small Waist worth an entry? 

     (Is it related to BESW?  Lost.  Heh.)

It's name is a pun on BESM and the system has some slight similarities, but otherwise not really.

I think I want to prune the list a bit, really - have the most popular ones listed, 'other' for the rest.

     I don't mean to sound annoying, and I realize you might want to just do it in more depth with the next version...  But for now, speaking generally from what I'm sensing: The more pruning and Othering you do, the less useful this becomes for me.  And the more I want a searchable input text. 

     There's a real risk of creating a nice "middle of the road" person search but actually making things more difficult for people with less commonly-defined interests.  Unless your idea is that they shouldn't use it as often -- or be searched for that way by others -- anyway.


     

Vekseid

I have to find a balance between the amount of space available and the current system, unless I rewrite it given what I've learned here already (commentary is valuable!).

Which, given the nature of  the complaints, I just may have to... but I have better ideas, now.

What about Chaoism's Call of Cthulhu System?
