[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 1676043, member: 4275"] Nothing lol. The Game Mechanics certainly weren't the ones deciding who got previews and who didn't. For previous "big releases" (3.5 D&D, d20M) an announcement was made to offer a prerelease copy to publishers either publically or on some private industry boards. This time there was no announcement, but some people who asked wizards at the right time seem to have gotten a preview from some very small companies at that, so it was obviously available, if you asked at the right time. Which left a lot of us scratching our heads and wondering who, where and when we had to ask, shrugging our shoulders, and moving on to other projects. For RPGObjects this means you might not see a d20F product until the SRD release, which will be a couple of months. Basically, d20 Modern started slow out of the gate, and if d20 Future does as well it won't be the end of the world. Anyone else remember when there was a thread a week asking why no one supported d20 Modern? Regardless of what the Game Mechanics or anyone at WOTC would like, it's going to take time for people to digest the rules and decide where they need to be expanded and so forth. I personally wouldn't want something rushed out to be first. Chuck [/QUOTE]
