d20 Past - Anyone using it?

[buzz]

So what other d20 Modern/Future/Past themebooks would you like to see in the near future, not counting Apocalypse and Cyberscape?

I think there is definitely a market for some crunchy supplements, such as general vehicle-building book, a race-building book, a generic FX system, a not-just-guns-equipment guide, etc.

I'd like them at least.

Debatable.

It wasn't that big a success.

Was it well done?

Follow Up

Had a look at the product page. My experience with Necromancer Games products has been a good one overall but, Mesopotamia was not about Mesopotamia. Not really. It takes a bit from Mesopotamian history, legend, and myth, but doesn't actually cover Mesopotamia per se.

As Professor Feynman once said, "It's not even wrong."

When I speak of a d20 sourcebook on the early Sumerians, I mean a d20 sourcebook on the early Sumerians. Not something that has as much to do with 5th millennium BC Mesopotamia as the price of kumquats in Barcelona, Spain.

d20 Elizabethan England


But I'm an odd one

I'm looking forward to the d20 game Vikings, due out soon. I'm not sure if it's based too much on the d20 Modern system, but for a past setting, I can dig it.

There's also one particular book I would really like to see... something called "Tesla's Legacy", but I think I have to write it first.

60% complete, by the way.

Well, we're talking about RPGs here, and RPGs tend towards settings that let you do fantastical things, and thus take liberty with history. A dead-on historical sourcebook on Sumeria might be of interest to some, but a runaway hit? No way.

Boy, am I with you on this!
I wonder if Adamant will continue with what was going to be Gloriana? Gareth has mentioned that, aside from the dark Cthulhu-esque elements (which were brought in by the original writers), there was material done that could be developed. Gareth?

Oh come on now! We need more than that! And when I say "We" and mean "I" who was planning on running a Gloriana campaign. Although Northern Crown looks like it might work too, with some adjustments.

Okay, people, the line starts here!

Set your bar too high and you prime yourself for many disappointments.
