IMHO, you need these. The bad news is that the current books are not d20. The good news is that they contain few rules anyway.Aliens and Deviltry. Get this one. First, it's d20, second it contains Dark between the Stars, which is my favourite FS book. Second, you get two alien races (Ur-Ukar and the other Ur... damn my memory) described in the Children of the Gods which is the second book contained in AandD. Third, you get some nice background into the Annunnaki (sp?), alien races home worlds, demons, heretical cults, banned technology, strange monsters...IMHO, Legions of the Empire is the dullest of FS books. It's not d20 either. It has nice history part, but the description of the military is quite dull. Some nice equipment is described, however, and some nice details about Symbiots.Don't know anything about FSd20 Companion. Probably it fills in the info lacking from the FSd20 - prestige classes etc. Yup, this is given in the Holistic's web page: "A grab-bag of all sorts of Fading Suns setting material for d20 games, including alien races, prestige classes, occult powers, cybernetics and the mutated Changed."Haven't seen anything official, but I think that Worlds of the Realm is only compilation of planets described in the fief books. Therefore, Imperial worlds, alien Worlds and Church worlds are not described there. To get info about these, check the following:* Byzantium Secundus - describes this planet in detail* Aliens & Deviltry / Children of the Gods - details the homeworlds of the two Ur races* Vorox - details the home world of these beasts* The adventure trilogy Lifeweb, Vau, upcoming Annunnaki details worlds of the Symbiots, Vau and whoknowswhat* Lost Worlds and Star Cusade describes worlds outside Known Worlds (Lost Worlds, planets of the Kurga Caliphate and Vuldrok Star-Nation etc.)* Don't have my books here, but I think that Priests of the Celestial Sun (included in the Lords & Priests) described at least de Moley and some other homes of the various priest sects.Note that the details given about the world varies:1 - very detailed: Byzantium Secundus (whole book)2 - some details: fief books, rulebook + game shield - Pandemonium, adventure modules3 - brief: other booksCheck Holistic Design's web page for details about these volumes. Additionally, I'd recommend getting the Heretics & Outsiders and Soies & Revolutionaries. There are zillions of plot hooks in those books.  The first one is d20 compliant.Also, the short adventure collections are quite nice - Wierd Places and Into the Dark, but they are both for the original rule system. Somebody just claimed on the FS mailing list that he is doing a conversion for some of the adventures.That's about it.Cheers.</blockquote>
