Retired Products: As previously announced in the monthly newsletters (http://www.dp9.com/Support/storeSupport.htm#monthlyfax), we are retiring another set of older titles (we retired a few titles back in January). Check the Retiring, Retired & Out-of-Stock Products page...

Re: Re: [DP9] Silhouette/d20 Conversion Guide Probably a saving error or somesuch. No matter, because we have a new version coming online on Friday, and this one is in PDF format (only 164 kb). Highlights of the revision: System Reference Documents: - Clarification of what d20 SRD and...

Thanks to the efforts of Paul Lippincott, we've added a comprehensive Silhouette-SilCORE-d20 conversion guide to our Web site. This should remove much of the guesswork when submitting a dual-statted piece to us. The file is in RTF format and is rather big (869kb)...

We just sent the brand new Gear Krieg RPG, 2nd Edition to the printer. Like CORE Command before it, this book has been designed as a player's handbook which requires the use of either the Silhouette CORE Rules (http://www.dp9.com/Products/dp9-900.htm) or a d20 rulebook. Beyond the background...

The d20 Mecha Compendium has been reprinted and is back in stock. We got strong restock orders from distributors, so your local store should have no problem getting it for you. The first few reviews are up -- check them out at: GameWyrd...

Reviews are in The first few reviews are in: http://www.rpg-resource.org.uk/index.php?article=102&visual=6 http://www.gamewyrd.com/review/246 They are both positive. :D We're almost out of the book, but it's going for a reprint next week or so. If your local store tells you it's out of...

The d20 Mecha rule goes as follow: "If a mecha suit takes damage, the wearer of the suit takes the exact same damage (a suit is form-fitting). An attack may kill or disable the wearer without doing the same to the suit, in which case someone else could salvage it. It might disable the suit...

Definitely. I'll try to help out a bit... It adds to any check made to maneuver the mecha. Mecha don't have an AC, they have a Defense, which is modified by pilot Feats, current speed and maneuvers. d20 mecha has more on this. For now, give a modifier to Defense according to speed...

Re: Hit locations? Though we haven't used them for any of the Compendium's mecha, the option is available in d20 Mecha. --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

Unless they changed the content of the manuscript I have on my desk, there's an entire section on costing and balancing mecha (in terms of Mecha Point, gold pieces, credits, dollars, CR, Levels, etc.). If you've seen "Big Robots, Cool Starships" it's about at the same level, though with d20...

Now that is good news. :D (Just hope they remember to re-order more -- if it sells, reload!) Glad to hear that we've been successful at making it a stand-alone title. On the other hand, there's a lot of goodness in GoO's d20 Mecha, including classes and feats to make these mecha even more...

Glad you think so -- it means we succeeded in what we wanted to do. :) Actually, the orcish Imperial war zeppelins were supposed to go into the book but got cut. The system does allow to make their stats, though (same for the spaceships). If we get enough fan interest, we might do...

It's here! People have started to report that the book has reached their local store. Gentlemen, start hunting! :D --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

I don't think we can make the economics of the full color book works, alas (well, we could, but it would mean reducing our profit margin and increasing the printer's). A full color section, however... But don't hold your breath. Unless we sell out the entire printrun (a likely thing at this...

The book has shipped! The d20 Mecha Compendium (http://www.dp9.com/Products/d20mecha.htm) has now shipped to distributors everywhere. This means it should be in stores in early March. Make sure you've set your pre-order for it -- we printed to a good safety margin, but it's selling fast. ---...
