[QUOTE="johnnype, post: 1408604, member: 1944"] The best way to learn about DP9 products is to visit the website [url]www.dp9.com[/url] Other than that I can say that they have several sttings for use with their Silhouette rule system including Heavy Gear, Jovian Chronicles, Tribe 8, Gear Krieg and Core Command. They are all very different. My favorite is Heavy Gear it's also the most well developed setting they have. It takes place a few thousand years in the future on a planet called Terra Nova. The default campaign usually centers around military scenarios although you can do almost anything you can think of. The name Heavy Gear reffers to the mech like vehicles used in warfare. As I mentioned before the setting is very well developed and includes a great storyline if you like that sort of thing. Of course its just as easy to ignore it. As you probably know the game has come out with a new edition recently. It is the only edition to include rules for use with D20 Modern. I have not used them so I cannot comment on their quality. The Silhouette system is solid (if gritty) but very, very different from D20. If you want D20 then it's your only option but if you don't mind a new system then you might think about picking up a 2nd edition rule book since it includes the rules. The 3rd edition requires the purchase of SilCore if you want to use Silhouette. [/QUOTE]
