Cyborgs, Demons, mutants and psionic powers that aren't timid. This one will be on my shelf as part of my d20 tool kits for science fantasy. A Gamma World or Rifts home grown conversion may not be far behind. What I like most about Pinnacle's d20 work so far is that they offer simple rules that get things done. Other companies may offer rules sets that are more durable, but it's like a whole chapter to cover one situation.

d20 Hell On Earth is basicly Pinnacle's "After The Bomb" setting and it includes magic and sci fi stuff in a B-Movie Horror setting. A lot of fun.

But what about.... cyborg demons? Mmm... d20 Doom..

To be accurate to the setting, the cyborgs are intellegent undead who are kept alive by demons who are just waiting to take over 500 pounds of cybernetic ordiance.

... so demonic undead cyborgs?

Are there any release date? (I have found none)

Soon? IIRC, I think it was originally scheduled for May, but that might have been a guess on their part.

I got the impression that the book is written, and they're just putting the finishing touches on it. So in the near future.

I'm looking forward to this one as well. It will fit in perfect with my Science Fantasy P.A. Campaign.

Pinnicle d20 games hold a special irony for me.

I grew up in a rural area and spent most of my youth trying to escape my past and my own personal redneck demons. I was not thrilled when my first real job landed me in Dodge City, Kan. I was also very anti-DND in my college days.

Unlike my Oklahoma hometown, I learned in Dodge City that "country" does not spell mean or stupid. Now I live in one of the biggest metros in the US, and now I play d20 games (not neccessarly middle age fantasy) and it seems that people get a big kick out of having the Oklahoman run the d20 Wierd West or Wasted West games. It seems that my players like to also assume that "country" spell stupid and they find out different.

Now I'm looking forward to having the boys meet a cyborg cowboy, it ought to be fun.

Has anyone heard any more info on when this book will be out? I am personally very interested in getting my hands on a copy!
