Yes, they are. Me, I like D&D with all the funny dice. I collect dice. I have some really oddball ones.

I have BESM too.

However, I kind of stalled out after a while and haven't worked on it in a couple of years. But it would have been another storytelling game with free-form abilities and very few numbers. <<
Not a bad idea, especially for a pickup game. I tend to like engines that are simple to play, although more flexibility in fine-tuning abilities would be desirable.
