The West End Games D6 System 2e just released it's preview pdf to backers recently. Anyone gotten a chance to look at it or use it?
I looked through it and it seems cool but this magic system seems really, really arbitrary and really easy to "Game", as it were.
Like, It kind of feels like you could argue any of the schools could accomplish any effect except for a few specifics, so if you just max out one you can basically cover literally any effect. And there's no reason to really have a "theme" to your character, there's no reason to say "I am a pyromancer" because specializing gets you nothing because magic users can do anything anyway.
