[Olive]

is any of d20 future OGL?

Yeah, a lot of it is going to end up in the MSRD pretty soon.

Their structure seemed monocellular because of the way their various vital organs sort of "floated around" inside them, but in fact their outer skin moved and changed shape due to a nework of muscles in and just underneath the skin, and the near-syrup consistency of their gel-like interior flesh.

Mmmmm.....syrup

Here's more teasers for you all.

The new AdC's in the book are:
Nuclear Nomad (Wasteland Campaign Model)

This makes it pretty darn clear to me that the Wasteland Campaign Model is Post-apocalypse. I wonder if they licensed Fallout, after all, Fallout is a remake of a computer CRPG that was called Wasteland.

A tangent, I was at the GenCon debut of D20 Modern, and Genetech was originally a proposal that was intended for the D20 Modern book, but was cut for lack of space. Glad they decided to bring it back despite its appearance in Polyhedron.

And is Dimension X something like Sliders or Quantum Leap or Doctor Who?

I just want to say that the three times I ran Star Frontiers were three of the best games I ever ran. I loved that stupid game.

And I don't even like space opera. All that singing...

In space, no one can hear the fat lady sing.

More info, please! I want to know more detail about the varying campaign options, and I'll second the vote for learning how many pages are devoted to each!

I get my copy tonight, and I am EXCITED.

And where is this discussion at the Wizards boards to be found? (Remember, Copy and Paste is your friend. )

You are indeed correct that the Wasteland campaign model is a post-apocalyptic setting. However, I did not base it on Fallout. In fact, it's the low-tech setting in d20 Future. It's sort of The Stand meets Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust with a heft dose of Mad Max thrown in for flavor.

Is from the Dark Heart of Space campaign something that roughly resembles Warhammer 40K or Faded Suns? With some hostile inhuman force threatening a theocratic imperialistic humanity?

When I designed From the Dark Heart of Space I had three words in mind: Cthulhu in Space. Basically, the concept is that there is this massive, evil force that was awakened by a deep space exploration expedition that is now spreading its invisible tendrils throughout the galaxy. This evil force, known as the Void, can corrupt almost anyone or anything and go relatively unnnoticed by the majority of the population. Anyone you know, friends, neighbors, family, pets, star cab pilots, shop owners, etc. could be an Agent of the Void and most people would never even know it....until it was too late. It's about insidious evil that creeps into the galaxy instead of launching some massive brute-force offensive.

Hope that helps.
