d20 Past?

[jaerdaph]

WotC or Third Party, SOMEBODY needs to do a d20 Modern Vehicles book - military AND civilian!

That must be the book James mentioned he was writing next year.

And BK: I don't think Wizards has to support something for it to be "supported". But I guess some people just think they would do such a better job of it than us pikers.

I know where you're coming from. I've read dozens, if not hundreds of books and find that many books are equal to WoTC products or simply better. The Book of the Righteous by Green Ronin, in my opinion, beats Deities and Demigods both in terms of righting and utility. Heck, Mongoose's upcoming Book of Immortals will probably be better because it allows the players to actually do something.

Our opinions though, will never change the general perception that WoTC products are better because they are official.

The RPG field definatly needs more demos and exhibitions of various games that go beyond official products but I doubt the companies who need the expsoure most can afford it.

Speaking as a former adherer to that antiquated philosophy, once you evolve beyond it, the gaming world is your oyster!

One reason i want to see more d20modern products from WOTC is because it attracts more new gamers.

I've met one too many n00bs who wont try d20modern cause there are only a "few" books for it, who dont want to consider 3rd party support. If there were more WOTC books. It would be easier to get them into the game and slowly into 3rd party material.

I think what WOTC has done with d20M and what I think will be the case with d20F, is the perfect use of the license.

They make a great big hardback that they can sell at a premium that lays a lot of cable and gives people like me room to write a lot of books to support it.

Well, based on what's been speculated for d20F, d20P should have a few old TSR/WOTC campaign setting in them. For example, Boot Hill, hopefully MotRD (maybe for a Living Death 3.0?).

Anyone else know what kind of pre-Modern stuff TSR/WOTC did in the RPG scene that's not D&D?

Sheesh, how many books do you need?

d20 Modern: 320pp
d20 Menace Manual: 224pp
Urban Arcana: 320pp
d20 Weapons Locker: 192pp
d20 Future: 224pp
d20 Past: 96pp (though Amazon is probably wrong here)

Man, that's 1300+ pages of material before we even look at 3rd party companies!

Well, there was Gangbusters, which was 1920's "Untouchables" stype stuff; For Faerie, Queen, & Country was Victorian; the Indiana Jones RPG; Tekumel; Divine Right (well, that's not an RPG, really)...

And, well, the original Chainmail.

Given d20M's fantasy bent, I could see FFQ&C getting looted for a campaign model, and surely Pulp Heroes will make an appearance... unless that's too modern.

Gangbusters Gotta have Gangbusters ...

I really wish this book (and d20 Future while were at it) was coming out for plain d20 instead of d20 Modern. I'm totally bummed.
