d20 Future?

[the Jester]

Anyone heard anything about when this comes out? I'm curious to see it...

Last I heard 2004 sometime. Going to be an add on for d20 Modern, no campaign setting, just a toolkit to build pretty much any futuristic setting you can think of.

Has it been confirmed that you must have d20 modern to use d20 future?

Personally Im pretty psyched, Ive been wanting d20 Dune for a while now..

Yes but it was cancelled right? Or is Last Unicorn Games doing a d20 conversion? I've looked around on ebay for the book, but its usually too pricey for me. Basically that link leads to a bunch of products which are now cancelled, correct?

Yes, it was cancelled, but I didn't know that you already knew that.

I think in one of the chat sessions.

Anyway here is what Charles Ryan has said about d20 Future:

I can't say much about d20 Future at this point, but I will share a couple things.

d20 Future isn't establishing a default campaign setting, like Urban Arcana. The book will instead provide info on a wide variety of science fiction setting types and styles.

Also, in response to some questions and speculation I've seen posted in other threads, d20 Future is straight science fiction, without fantasy elements. In other words, you won't find magic or dragons in d20 Future. (You may see some "supernaturalish" elements appropriate to SF style games, though, like psionics, alien tech, and precursor artifacts. . . .)

Beyond that, you'll just have to wait and see!

Last Unicorn Games is no longer around, but much of their staff ended up at Decipher. From what they've said, there's not much hope of ever again publishing any official Dune RPG. After the Sci-fi channel's miniseries, the Herbert estate isn't interested in dealing with the (at least book) rpg industry. They don't believe that there's enough profit potential in it to make it worth the time to negotiate contracts.
