D20 Apocalypse Designers - Q&A Here

[AdmundfortGeographer]

I don't suppose said booze rules in the web enhancement will be Open Gaming Content? Web Enhancements typically aren't OGC, but one can hope.

Which leads to the thought about any of the D20 Apocalypse as OGC... Darrin, have you heard if WotC is contemplating adding any D20 Apocalypse content to the SRD/MSRD eventually?

I may have missed it if it was announced elsewhere...

Obviously one of the other authors may have heard something I haven;t, but so far I haven;t heard any mention of material going to the SRD. Generally, we freelancer authors know when the rest of you do, and not a day earlier.

Ditto. While I'd like to see some of that material opened up as OGC, I have no idea whether it will happen or not.

I picked this up over the weekend. Looks nice.

Would the critters from GWd20 fit in well with the other rules?

I hope the WE has some more of the stuff cut from the book. Now I have to pick up D20 Future too

Obviously they use slightly different rules, but I don't think any reasonably experienced GM would have trouble using both rules sets, each for the creatures written under them. I could easily fit d20 GW critters into a d20 A game, and I don't hesitate to recommend it to others.

This is Cyberscape material?

I was curious with the new D20 Cyberscape excerpt that shows an immense table for mutations, just why this didn't make it into the D20 Apocalypse book, but instead the D20 Cyberscape?

I mean, even the paragraph for the excerpt says:

From D20 Cyberscape excerpt: "Mutations are common in apocalyptic settings. Mutants vary from horrid brutes maddened by radiation burns to creatures with psionic powers - whole new species arisen from the ashes. The basic rules for mutations are presented in Chapter 12 of d20 Future. This section expands those rules and provides some alternatives, both for more realistic mutation effects and for the over-the-top mutations seen in some apocalyptic scenarios."

Another paragraph from the excerpt:

"The basic mechanisms for fantastic mutations are presented in Chapter 12 of d20 Future. Mutants can be far more common in postapocalyptic campaigns than standard futuristic settings, and so here are some additional rules options (and additional mutations) to expand the types of mutants a GM may include in his game."

What the heck?

In otherwords, why did this fit D20 Cyberscape better than D20 Apocalypse?
[edit] I dunno, should this post be the beginning of a whole new thread?

Methinks they made a slight mistake...

That looks to me like a reprint of the exact same material from d20 Apoc.

I didn't look closely, the book isn't at hand right now, but I thought there just might have been something added to the list. I'll have to give it a scouring when I get back home with my books. Is it entirely exactly the same? Way too bizarre...

Or maybe it is all just a mistake by the Web dudes. Very plausible I suppose. *shrug*
