I think companies like Adamant and RPGObjects, to name just a two, have done a better job with similar subject matter, either before WotC got around to it after. Thrilling Tales and Sidewinder Recoiled come to mind as prime examples of such products for me. I'm not really in to post-apoc, but Darwin's World comes to mind as well. YMMV. But d20 Modern doesn't have the brand name strength or longevity that D&D has. So when everyone and their brother puts out a fantasy RPG ships and the seas supplement, those all but get pushed to the side, no matter how good they are, when WotC puts out Stormwrack (or whatever it was called) for "official" D&D. I don't think that happens as much with d20 Modern. What I'm not saying is that the WotC d20 Modern products are bad, but some are stronger than others, and there are parts that I like in each. The weaker ones tend to do too much in too little space (d20 Past, d20 Future Tech). The stronger ones concentrate on one subject (d20 Apocolypse. Sadly we'll never know about Spectaculars). I would rather have seen d20 Pulp, d20 Victorian Horror, d20 Spaceships and for those who are fans of the genre, d20 Mecha, rather than d20 Past and d20 Future Tech. I am excited by the possibility of a d20 Modern Dark*Matter. If that is successful for them, I hope they follow up with d20 Star*Drive, d20 Top Secret, and more. If anything, WotC isn't giving up on d20 Modern, but looking at a new direction to increase interest and ultimately sales. And that can only be a good thing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Edit: And at the end of the day, I don't even need d20 Spectaculars to use d20 Modern for supers. I already have Blood and Vigilance and Four Color to Fantasy Revised. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
