Mecha SRD Extreme PDF

This 91-page PDF features not only the Mecha SRD but also the appendix "Mecha as Magic Items" and a second appendix of completely new material.

Illustrated by Christopher Shy.

Nice.

Though: a few paragraph are cut, on a landscape PDF it isn't good. (the other classes paragraph for the mecha pilot class, the class skills for the mecha commander, etc...).

It would have been nicer for users (IMO) if the new material, and the appendix from the mecha compendium, had been meshed in the body of the book (you could add an asterix near new feats and defects if you want to give proper credits).

On what you could add:
A Clickable table of content.
An index (clickable?)
The anime d20 material which is referenced (skills, special abilities) perhaps with addition so that it appears better (sample DC for skills).
A step by step construction of a mecha
New sample Mecha (stats for all mecha featured in the book).

Took me a minute to understand what you meant. You're talking about paragraphs carrying over to other pages.

I did it this way so that people could easily throw away the new material if they don't like it.

A Clickable table of content.

Did you see the bookmarks? They match the TOC entries.

An index (clickable?)

Maybe.

The anime d20 material which is referenced (skills, special abilities) perhaps with addition so that it appears better (sample DC for skills).

A blending of the two?

A step by step construction of a mecha
New sample Mecha (stats for all mecha featured in the book).

Along with worksheet for the step by step? And you want more than two sample mecha is what I'm understanding.

GOO actually informed me that they spotted an error in their SRD and sent me the info so I could update the PDF. I'll put some thought into your feedback before I load the new version to RPGNow. And, as always, everyone who has already purchased the product will get the revised version free.

exactly, sorry that it was unclear.

That's fine, and BTW I have a few comments on some feats (but I can't read my USB key at school, I'll have to wait a trimester for that).

Did you see the bookmarks? They match the TOC entries.

Yes, I've seen them, the problem is that on a 800*600 screen, the bookmarks takes a lot of space, and navigating through click might be easier (though it might be cumbersome to have a page full of links).

Maybe.

not a full one, just the material from anime d20 which should be in mecha d20 to make it fully stand alone.

Along with worksheet for the step by step? And you want more than two sample mecha is what I'm understanding.

Yes! I want more! (and I'm really sorry for my poor grammar and quality of expression)

I've spotted one too, it was in a formula to calculate the cost of a mecha, and the parenthesis () were forgotten in the exemple.
