Re: DQ vs. newer systems

i would agree with the general sentiment that DQ is best for fantasy
RPG's.
I originally played AD&D, and had a blast.  But once my friends and I
got our hands on DQ, there was no going back.
Recently we have considered other systems (GURPS, D20), and gone as
far as creating characters.  But it never seems to last.  The current
DQ campaign is going on 2 years, and is just picking up steam.  

Also, it is very easy to modify.  I would say most of the people on
this board have done at least some modifications.
