[DP9] D20 Mecha Compendium

[Marc A. Vezina]

Here's a rough preview of what will be found in the book:

MECHA D20, v8.0

Chapter One: Intro (misc. useful info, such as adapting mecha to your own campaign world, etc.)

Chapter Two: Fantasy Worlds

- Towering Magical Knight
- Magical Fantasy battlesuits
- Beast Lords
- Steampunk Fantasy battlesuits

---
Chapter Three: Modern and Near Future Worlds

- Gear Krieg
- Near-future battlesuits
- Classic Giant Robot (Grandizer, etc.)
- Near Future Utility Mecha

---
Chapter Four: Far Future Worlds

- Heavy Gear
- Jovian Chronicles
- Transformable Superpowered Aerofighter
- Far-future battlesuits
- Planetbusters

There may be more, but the above are all in the works. The stats will use Guardians of Order's mecha D20 rules, which are pretty close to what we wanted to do ourselves (why re-invent the wheel?).

Check our Web site (http://www.dp9.com) for updated info and previews.

Marc,

I visited the DP9 site, but can't find a larger preview. Where should I be looking?

This book sounds like it's going to rule! And it sounds pretty comprehensive as well.

I'd really appreciate a link to more info.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry -- here's the product page. It's a bit "naked" right now, but we'll add more info as the project progresses (sample pages, etc.):

I sure hope so.

The idea is to make a book that will be useful to all D20 players, regardless of their preferred campaign setting, and to allow us to showcase our various existing SF lines in D20 format.

Sounds all kinds of cool, Two questions. Will it require the GoO book to use, and will it allow for customization?

I think it's a given. Consider this, GOO will provide mecha-specific core rules, and DP9 will provide the add-on supplement.
