    What is an isn't Open Content

    Almost everything in MnM is OGC, except the advancement mechanic, i.e. power points and power cost. Reread the labelling of the OGC in the beggining of the book if you don't believe me.

    A word on Backward Compatability

    Yeah, if you take a strict definition of compatible, in this case if you gives hit point to star wars character they are compatible (except that their CR will not be right). But I think that the backward compatible was targetet at store owner, so that they don't sell product with "wrong"...

    I'm also interested in it, so if you can provide any details, it would be very nice! I'm currently building a setting with a near futur earth who has conquered some part of the solar system, with space station next to jupiter and terraformation of mars. An alien invading force that take...

    A word on Backward Compatability

    It's a bard with error in it in the eye of someone who has the new PHB and not the old (I think that it is the goal, to have clearer content in the book so that new customer do not need to read 100+ pages of FAQ or old player could get all the info in one book, plus some nice crunchy bits) ...

    A word on Backward Compatability

    Except that the backward compatibility isn't only with books like OA or Manual of the Planes, but according to the comments from WotC, with any of their product, which include adventures, and your 2 first backward compatible exemple would not fit with adventures (for the customer who has only...

    [DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

    I think it is! You could also had the mecha from the various setting who appears in the miniatures games or planet book. That way, you could convert all of your mecha!

    Swashbuckling Adventures - yay or nay?

    The book do use material from the PHB, the rapier, bow, and many weapons featured in Theah use the stats in the PHB and aren't reprinted, which produce some inconsistencies with the weapons in the book, the fighter class isn't changed and you get the Pirate class, which is better in almost every...

    Al-Qadim Anyone?

    You are a bit fast in saying that most of us expected an update to Kara-Tur :) and the Arabian Adventure book in 2nd edition was very good with almost no Zakhara info, though I would miss the setting info, given the habits of WotC to publish only hardover, and to stay away of setting book or...

    Who does Steve Jackson Think He's Kidding???

    Re: SJG SJG didn't made In Nomine, they translated it from french and, I don't know if comics exist in this format in the U.S. (A4, 48-72 pages, hardcover) but in Europe they do, and are priced around $12, so if it has a lot of illustration, and is more an humour book than anything else, the...

    Gaming Frontiers new subscription deal - $260 worth of FREE d20 stuff

    I'm tempted by this offer (with Oathbound, forbidden kingdoms and lock & loads), but alas it seems to be available only in the U.S. (the secure form doesn't allow to enter the country in the adress). What would it cost for a 4 issue subscription in France?

    Blood and Space

    L'Incal or Jovian Chronicles features big starships, space station, space lift or giant pirate ships and L'incal isn't set in a Mecha setting. It was just to point that their is some setting in RPG that features a lot of big space vehicles with which the PC interact. For exemple IIRC, in Jovian...

    Blood and Space

    You forgot mecha campaign, which can easily feature ships such as the Macross Fortress, plus a lot of other big ships, some of which might be manned by PC (especially post-war with giants piloted ships). If you want exemples of setting(which exist as RPG) which features really big ships with...

    [Dungeon] Dungeon/Polyhedron Goes Monthly

    Remove the legitimate in your post, and I'll agree with you. The problem is due to ignorance of the EU laws, but given the complexity of international laws, I understand how they could stumble upon it, though it doesn't make the company right in not providing the magazine. and I really like the...

    An overview of BESM d20

    Because most of my post were negative, I wanted to say that I'm happy to see a point based system for d20. Still some questions though: BESM offer skill cost based on setting, and it has been suggested that some attributes could have varying cost based on setting (like the mermaid in the green...
