Message: <blockquote data-quote="buzz" data-source="post: 2671734" data-attributes="member: 6777">My suspicion is that Amazon has listed either the wrong price or the wrong page-count/physical details. It's going to be either US$19.95, 96pp, softcover; or US$34.95, 160pp, and hardcover.I was surprised at this product initially, but it now seems sort of obvious. WotC has yet to come anywhere near the supers genre in any of their d20 products, and it's an obvious fit in terms of subject matter for the d20M line. It was going to happen sooner or later. The real question is whether this will be a thorough treatment of the genre a la d20F (i.e., the 160pp hardcover) or simply a superpowers system add-on a la d20 Cyberscape (i.e., the 96pp softcover).As to competition with M&M... sales-wise, it's no contest. WotC slays all other companies in this regard. As for quality, we can't speak to that until we see the finished product. I love M&M, but I also have faith in the WotC designers. I am also happy to see any extensions of the d20M ruleset. If they can find a way to do supers well within the d20M class system, more power to them; I'll buy it. <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=":)" /> (Yes, I was gonna buy B&V at some point, too.)And who knows? Maybe it isn't solely a book about supers. Maybe it's along the lines of what Beyond Science was for Alternity, i.e., a system for adding powers beyond those of mortal peeps to your d20M game, regardless of genre. Honestly, I'd freakin' love to see a toolkit approach like that.</blockquote>
