Darwin's World True 20 Designer Q&A

[Banesfinger]

The True 20 edition includes new character archetypes

Will there still be 3 roles (archetypes?) as in True20? Or have you expanded this beyond the Adept/Expert/Warrior?

Just the three. Actually, all the archetypes are Warrior and Expert but those are just for guidance.

How much of the Campaign Guide is integrated into the True 20 version?

The Campaign Guide is a product I would really love to own in print (not sure why its not offered that way) and would be willing to buy the True 20 POD if it had some of the Campaign Guide included.

None of the campaign guide is included. This is a straight port of the Survivor's Handbook and Artifacts of the Ancients, giving you everything you need to play a post-apoc game in the setting of your choice.

The campaign guide was offered in print in the past, you might be able to find the hardcover edition we did, which included the survivor's handbook, the campaign guide, and the gazetteer.

When that sold out, we did a different version for the second printing, aimed at players.

This edition also, sadly, is based on the Survivor's Handbook and Artifacts of the Ancients only.

But like I said, if you are willing to look around, and d20 Modern doesn't bother you, you could probably find a used copy of the hardcover that had all the core books in it.

That's a gem of a book - truly one of the most prized of all the gaming books in my library.

Personally I began using D20 Modern when it came out, and before I saw True20, I had no intention of switching to anything else. Upon reading over the True20 core rules however, I came to the realization that it handles the modern genre exceptionally well. While I still prefer D&D for my fantasy games, True20 became the game of choice for everything else.

That's a roundabout way of saying that if you release a True20 version of any of the Darwin's World books, I'll happily purchase them again.

I will be reprinting the CG, just as I have reprinted the SH. But it needs a update first.
