Its a combination of Talislanta (positive and negative stats) and T.W.E.R.P.S. (resolution is stat plus dice-roll). I can run this.
Part of me is a bit sad that it has moved so far away from Gary and Dave's original vision, but kids today aren't interested in the fiddledyness of re-purposed war-gaming rules. I wasn't, that is why I gravitated to systems like D6 (Star Wars), Omni (Talislanta) and Tri-Stat (BESM) in the first place.
Its only in my old-man grognard phase that am I learning to appreciate those older games and rulesets. D&D might be moving with the times (which is good) but I'm also thrilled that OSR is also thriving. In this day and age, its nice to get what you want without having to compromise.
