(Perhaps I simply haven't been around long enough to know the answer?) Aside from heading up one project - the previous incarnation of MystaraD20 - that frankly, pretty much went nowhere, what is Jenni's track record? She seems to be somewhat of a revered figure in Mystara circles and everyone seems really happy MD20 is kinda-sorta back from the dead, but, well... I haven't seen anything that gives me any clue as to why. Does she have some game design and/or (*successful*) project management credentials of which I'm not aware? Also, I'm wondering what the practical difference between a "Liberal Autocracy" as defined in Jenni's first message and the previous "Benevolent Dictator" arrangement is supposed to be. They sound pretty much the same to me. Amongst other things, Jenni wrote the wonderful BD&D Mystara adventure "Jet Black". It's well worth a look, if you haven't seen it. Welcome back, Jenni!

AFAIK, they all use the same rules, which are a simplification of 3e.
