[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 4426001, member: 4275"] Well, it was always our intention for Modern20 to be a living game. We didn't stress that in our initial marketing because, frankly, we weren't sure the game would catch on, so we didn't want to promise something we couldn't deliver. Also, the timing of the update got a little bump. Our tentative plan had been another Modern Supplement, followed by an update around Christmas. However, GenCon is my vacation week (one reason I don't go to the Con, it makes a *perfect* week for me to kick back) and we had gotten feedback asking for more weapons, and to tweak the weapons stats. I also had the 30 new feats, which I'd been using in my home game for a few months. So I decided to take my vacation and add Supplement #1, the WWI Small Arms book we did, a Modern20 version of the Cold War small arms book we did for B&G and a whole bunch of totally new firearms, along with the new feats. It was a bigger update (and more work!) than I planned, but I'm excited by the result and I hope all you folks will be too, both those who already own Modern20 and the folks on the fence this commitment from us gets to check the game out. We've thought about and talked about it at length, BELIEVE ME. I think where we currently stand on the issue is that there won't be a formal point-for-point conversion. What we WILL be doing, is a Post Apocalyptic20, which will contain all the crunch necessary for bringing any PA setting to life, from Darwin's World, to Gamma World, to Jeremiah, to the Road Warrior, to the Stand. We think that will be a better course. Darwin's World has a LOT of support, especially adventure support, and is still doing very brisk business. A new edition now would risk forking the fan base. On the other hand, for those who really love Modern20, a PA20 would give them all the tools they needed. [/QUOTE]
