So, you would have to have, at the very minimum:
  • D100 being the prime die when resolving situations
  • Characteristics being based on a Dice Roll but not solely random
  • Human characteristics typically in the 3-18 range
  • Hit Points being derived from Characteristics
  • Damage being weapon + personal - armour
  • Previous Experience being Background/Profession based rather than Class Based
  • No Character/Race Classes
  • No Experience Levels
  • Percentage based skills
  • Incremental experience
  • Skills resolved by rolling below a skill target on a D100
Sounds good. The "d100-Compatible" definition should, just as Simon says, be kept to a minimum IMO. The reason being that it's better to be somewhat to inclusive than to exclude. And as Simon wrote in another post, and as several others have pointed out, I agree that the "big" companies would probably not be particularity interested in such a logo. But that's not the main purpose. My idea was to create a community standard and a logo that the community, fanzines and hobby-publishers can use to indicate what type of game they are supporting.
