d20 Future - Buying?

[Bran Blackbyrd]

Wow; 36, 9, 9.
Right now the yes people double the total for the other two choices.
Mine is on preorder. Dammit Amazon! People talk about getting stuff from Amazon the day it comes out... When I preorder from them they usually say they still don't have it for a month after the book is out.

Anyone get notice from Amazon as to when it's shipping?

Don't complain, Bran. I'm STILL waiting for them to release the Advanced Bestiary from Green Ronin. It's supposed to ship in 1 to 2 months, but I ordered it at the end of March. They've pushed back the ship date at least three times already, and they've been giving me the run-around.

About the only improvement is that they upgraded the shipping.

If it weren't for the discount, I'd cancel and order from Talon... Plus, I applied a gift certificate to the order, and I don't trust them to not screw up refunding me the money from the certificate...

I'm not actually going to buy it, but I am going to be getting it. Generally my wife won't by me gaming books simply because she knows if I want it I'll get it myself. However, this one is going on my list of "I won't be purchasing it, but I would really like to have it." Currently it's not something I'd be using in a campaign (much like my other d20 Modern stuff) but I would like to think that someday I'd actually get to make use of it.

Well, while obviously it's for D20 Modern and future/sci-fi games, some of D20 Future could be useful in D&D.

The section on mutations, for instance. The part on robots if you are running a Blackmoor style game where there used to be high-tech.

I hope to check out details in the SRD at some time, and then make a decision based on that.

The listed release date was changed last week from "August 2004" to "September 1, 2004". I'm wondering if WotC delayed shipping to them as a concession to the higher priced retailers and to protect GenCon sales.

No. If d20 Modern is any indication, then I'll be sticking with FUZION for my futuristic game.

Bought it last Friday, read it all weekend, still lovin' it today!

Bought it & reading it!

Very good expansion to D20 Modern and much of it can also be converted to D&D also.

My only complaint is the lack of Agents of Psi material. Everyone keeps saying Psionics belongs in a Sci-Fi setting, but it is left out of the Sci-Fi book?
