[QUOTE="Bobitron, post: 2182520, member: 25479"] I think I was one of the first people on the site to get it. I was pretty happy with it on the first read, but I've come to find it has not been all that useful. I already owned the Sidewinder: Recoiled rules for western stuff, and after disappointment in D20 Past's coverage of the WWII era, I ended up buying Hell on Earth 1939-1945 and WWII Heroes pdf's for my WWII campaign. I think that it is a good book, but I don't think I have used it once in the two games I am running where it would apply. If there were not so many options from other publishers, I would make use of it. I think that WOTC did a good job with the amount of space they decided to use, but that it lacks the detail that I need for my campaigns. If I had to say one thing that D20 Past has done for me, it would be that it has given me the desire to buy more specific products from different periods. I would love to buy a book covering the years 1600-1800 or so, I have had a American Revolutionary War campaign kicking around in my head for years, and D20 Past combined with a re-reading of Dumas' 'Three Musketeers' has piqued my interest in a Napoleonic or French Revolution campaign.
