My worries

I too have been waiting for this a long time! But I do have a major concern:

The quality of the product in terms of innovation as a game, not just a wonderful coffee-table book. As more and more d20 games are released, we are seeing more innovations (Spycraft is a good example), and a stronger rules knowledge-base.

Basically, the bar keeps getting raised. BUT, as I understand it, the delays for Farscape are solely on Henson's side, meaning the core info was completely close to a year ago. I fear for a book that is riddled with fundamental rules issues, or a book that is simply a space version of D&D.

Unless they spend the time to retrofit the game to account for all the new innovations the other companies have made (innovations that were the result of a stronger understanding of the d20 system), I think we might get a pretty "average" book.

I hope for the best, but I fear the worst.

Oh, and the wait for the next season is killing me! I saw the last 4 episodes of season 3 like 4 months ago (SVCD rips of the UK broadcasts). sadly, we don't seem to get the new episodes in the Great White North, so I have to settle with watching it on my computer. At least we get the reruns now. :)

We can hope for the best seeing as how Spycraft and d20Farscape are made by the same company.

The only thing I have heard so far is that psionics was going to more resemeble DND psionics than Spycraft psionics.

And where have you heard that? Are there any mailing list/forum?
