[DP9] Tribe 8 Player's Handbook

[Marc A. Vezina]

I just updated the book's Web page with the (rather delicious) cover image. Check it out for yourself:

Of particular interest to D20 players:

1) A new fantasy setting to play in (with no elves or dwarves or other Tolkienesque items);
2) New nasties (the Z'bri and their ilks);
3) A spell-less, freeform magic system (Synthesis).

Well, it'll be interesting to see. I haven't picked up any Tribe 8 stuff in a long time and this sounds like a bit of a confused product so I'll wait to hold judgement until I have it in my hands and can see how d20 it is.

I mean I like Silver Age Sentinels but still feel it should've went OGL and I don't play it as part of d20. The only way I'd be interested in doing Tribe 8 myself is as a d20 plug and play product.

Just my two cents.

Looking forward to the book.

This one has made onto my RPG order for December. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

This is great news, Marc! Nice to see DP9 and Tribe 8 making itself available to a larger audience.

Wow... that's awesome. I've been interested in T8 for a long time. Does this mean that future stuff is going to be dual statted? Or will there just be a conversion chapter that will leave the rest of the books alone?

Wow... that's awesome. I've been interested in T8 for a long time.

I presume the unspoken bit here is "...but since it's not D20, I haven't picked it up"?

This is exactly why we have included an OGL "gateway" section.

Does this mean that future stuff is going to be dual statted?

Maybe -- it depends on the sales of this book. Though from what we're seeing right now in pre-orders (3x the usual orders, on average), it might be wise to do so.

Or will there just be a conversion chapter that will leave the rest of the books alone?

That might be a way to do it, yes. It would certainly make separating the Open stuff easier, though not all players may like flicking pages back and forth...
