    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Samples You can go check out the product's page on our Web site. It has been updated with another sample design from the book: http://www.dp9.com/Products/d20mecha.htm Next week, you'll get actual stats in the form of a downloadable sample (a fantasy mecha). :D Yes (except for the...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Exactly. Though what actually happened was, we had already started the design part of our project earlier, and using GoO's rules instead of crafting our own version shaved a lot of time off the development period. (I'd dispute the "fluff" categorization, though -- there's a lot of useful stuff...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Here are the four settings included in the book under the "Fantasy" header: 1) Guardians of Divinity Towering magical knights are a staple of fantasy anime. Often, these mecha are not works of Man, but rather divine representatives of the Gods themselves -- or, if not that, then a legendary...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Actually, it will, by about a month or two. This was planned out in advance. Think of it as a preview of the latter. :D There are enough rules and explanations in the d20 Mecha Compendium to let you use the stats and mecha in your game(s) right away. You just won't be able to modify their...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    It's done! The d20 Mecha Compendium has left our offices for the printer. Expect it to reach the shelves of your local game store sometimes in late February or early March. I'm a bit too busted right now, but I will post some new samples as well as the cover on the Web site this week. :)...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Not having seen the latest, I don't know. You can surely use one of the settings we provide and use those stats for the time being. (You'll need D20 Mecha, from Guardians of Order, to actually do the stats on Xenogear specs.) You should have plenty of cool stuff to use in this book, then...

    The book is divided almost equally into fantasy (4 settings), modern (3 settings) and future (4 settings). --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

    Re: mecha addicts Certainly. And yes, it's feasable! (Though you'll probably need more than one, depending on the dragon...) --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    If you already play the Silhouette version of Jovian Chronicles, this book won't bring you anything new beyond the d20 stats for the main exo-armors of the setting. Just a friendly warning. :) The Mecha Compendium is very much aimed at d20 players who have not read or used our books before...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Good stuff, mostly effect-based, relying on D20 established conventions whenever possible. (For example, Chameleon Cloaking System follows the standard rules for Invisibility.) In many ways, a mecha is a similar to a monster or a construct. Design-wise, their system is mid-way between our own...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Re: TO Marc A. Vezina: Yes. In fact, we just got the final version of the rules and are rechecking our numbers to make sure the totals are right. Note that our book will be useable on its own (there are stats explanations in the first chapter); you'll just get access to more options, like...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Re: MECHA!! Thanks! BTW, to anyone interested by this book, please let your local game retailer know. There are so many d20 books coming out each week, even the good ones are getting lost in the flow. :( --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    More precisions... Note that there is nothing preventing you from scaling up those mecha and using them as "godzilla fighters" -- I'll put a note on this in a sidebar somewhere, if we have the room (thanks!). In fact, we put alternate uses for all the settings shown in the book (all setting...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    Not quite -- think more toward "Voltron." (The Bear mecha shown on the Web page is one of those. It forms the lower body of the giant BeastLord mecha when combined.) --- Marc A. Vezina DP9

    You can go check out the product's page on our Web site. It has been updated with a sample design from the book (a Fantasy mecha): http://www.dp9.com/Products/d20mecha.htm The page is slightly inexact, as far as the Table of Content goes. We've had to drop the "Near-Future Utility Mecha" and...

    [DP9] Online Store Upgrade

    Hi folks, Just a brief note to let you know that we have upgraded our online store (http://www.dp9.com/Products/index.htm) to accept Paypal payments, in addition to the previous secure credit card facilities (you can also buy by money-order, but it's longer). Two important notes: while you...

    d20 Tribe 8...interest?

    Note to all: 1) The book is on its way to distributors. Those that already have it are either a) authors or b) subscribers. (And even then, we usually time things so that the subscribers will get the book at the same time as stores, so as not to piss off the latter. Seems it didn't work this...
