I love talent trees, the gritty effects of a low MDT instead of the overly heroic WP/VP of Star Wars d20, stripping down the character classes, action points, and the collection of mini-settings thrown into the book. A lot of these ideas, though, I think could / should be implemented differently to better effect - ditching classes completely and replacing them with a generic "Hero" class; making Action Points a renewable resource since the current system penalizes GMs who don't advance their players at the 'standard' d20 pace; more discussion on the ways to use MDT and armor rules.... . .That said, d20 Future was even more usable to me than the core modern rule book. As a developer, it gives me a 'standard baseline' for the development of cyberware, space ships, weapons, tech levels and so on... all the stuff that a developer should have to work within a framework when writing supplements. On the other hand, that's ALL this was - the guidelines. What the basics are, without a lot of illustration of these basics at work.I like it, but was underwhelmed overall.</blockquote>
