d20 Future - Buying?

[Krug]

So are you getting, or have bought, D20 Future?

 

[CarlZog]

Haven't yet, but I will be getting it, though I wish I wasn't....

I really want to run a Star Drive campaign using Alternity, but the group is committed to d20 and eager to try d20 Modern. So I'm sacrificing Alternity's superior mechanics for d20 Future's common demoninator.

By the way, I'm no d20 hater. I love 3(.5)eD&D and a LOT of the other d20 games produced for other genres, but I still think Alternity is a better mechanic for modern and futuristic adventures than d20Modern.

Voted "Don't Know Yet". You see, I probably will, since I got to see it in person today, but I didn't have any money with me, and need to check over with my group if they really want to try the single adventure/possible whole campaign I've thought up.

Visually, it looks nice. The primarily white cover is very unusual for a hardback book. As for the contents, it also looks very nice; there's a section on nanotechnology (though I didn't get to look at it).

I might purchase it, I might not...The jury is still out.

I had to buy it. It was one of those things that would have kept nagging me if I didn't buy. ("You know D20 Future is cool. You have to buy it. It's got Dralasites in it. You have to buy it. etc")

So while I'm slightly disappointed with it (not much, but slightly), it was worth it just to shut that little voice up.

Bought it.

Am already working on our setting and new rules for it...

New Tribes - our personal look at the dystopian future - classic cyberpunk with a millennial edge (vancomycin-resistant diseases, frankenfood gone wrong, etc).

Hopefully within the month. The Cecil wants it.

I may get it in a few months, but there are other books higher on my want list right now and I only have so much money.

i already got it. i was the first person at my FLGS to buy one... about 30 seconds after they opened the box from their distributor.

i really dig it. i have some problems with the starship and mecha chapters, but they're nothing d20 Mecha can't fix.

I bought D20 Future on Friday, and while its pretty good, it really didn't WOW me like I hoped it would. For some reason, modern and sci-fi games just don't feel right to me in the D20 system. I've really been wanting to run a Fading Suns game, but the FS system stinks to hell (even worse than Storyteller). I was really impressed with D6 Space, but I wanted to wait to make a decision until I saw D20 Future, and now that I have, its definitely D6 Space.
