D20 Future Q&A With Rodney "Moridin" Thompson and JD Wiker!!

[Malacoda]

Wait For the SRD

While I'm not saying you shouldn't buy the book, I would strongly suggest you get it online at a large discount.

I concur with this. I would say that you should wait for the d20 Future SRD to be posted after Gen Con, then decide if you want to own a hardback version.

Heck, if the SRD contains the parts I find worth while, I might sell you mine.

I don't have at this point that weren't already answered earlier in the thread, but I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm really enjoying the book and appreciate the additional feedback. Great job, guys!

If JD and Moridin would like to take the time to list some of the major items that were cut out of the book (like the starship combat rules.) that they think were really great it'd make it really easy on the rest of us to mail/post to WOTC to put them into a web enhancement.

Just a list (and maybe short descriptions) now, makes it much easier to copy and paste if it's all in one list.

I couldn't do that without a massive time investment that I just don't have the space for right now. To go over a manuscript and every inch of the book would take me a couple of days. Besides, anything that's cut from a book might potentially show up in a sourcebook later should they choose to support the line, so technically we're really not supposed to be talking about that kind of thing due to NDAs.

Oh, and I'm back from GenCon.

A quote from that review:
"Cheap shot?"
Looks like I trod on someone's sacred cow.

Actually, this was only one of several sidebars (cloning being another that comes to mind) where I got the sense of the author being preachy and judgemental. It struck me as rather out-of-place and unproffessional in an otherwise excellent (if short) book. :\

Well I just assumed you had an idea in mind of what areas that were cut (Like the old starship combat rules.) that you thought should have been in. Considering there's been several references to such things surely you two have some short, small list in mind?

Plus it need not be a disccusision, just a small list of items would be good.

Welcome back, Moridin!

You probably missed it in the pre-GenCon rush. Any chance of getting the missing Table 13-5?

Thanks!

Don't think I'll get lynched, but not caring if I do...

Rodney,

The Gadget rules rock!

Thank you, thank you.

I so missed my customization rules from Star Wars....while this is different, its definately just as good (in my book) or possibly better (I'll know after playing some)!

Again, thanks. Oh, and your D20 Future Storyhour-blog-thing needs updating, cause I was just getting into it!

Thanks!

There is no table 13-5; that's a typographical error. It should say "13-2" which is on page 214. That's where the Fraal weapons are.

Seconded!!
