(Mongoose) Wars RPG Preview

First Post
Hi guys,

Wars is the new RPG from Mongoose Publishing, in conjunction with Decipher Inc. Released next month (copies will be available at Origins), Wars is the RPG of the late 24th century. The place – the solar system of Earth, but drastically transformed. An alien-made rift in space and time has slashed across the system, and from this wound in the universe have come invaders, not just their troops and ships, but a world, Seyal, which bore with it two races, the arrogant, wraithlike Shi and their enemies, the brutal Quay. The rift brought with it something else…a strange, quantum energy which has granted certain select individuals exotic powers.

Five factions now war for control of the solar system – the Earthers, nationalistic, arrogant, and ruled by giant corporations; the Gongen, ascetic and group-oriented, descendants of those who fled the radiation-scarred wastes of Asia for the red sands of Mars; the Mavericks, freedom-loving individualists, pirates and rogues of the outer rim, who are as willing to modify their bodies as their vehicles; the Shi, alien and inscrutable, imperialistic and domineering; and the Quay, tribal, brutal and proud, former Shi slaves who rebelled and now wage war to destroy their former masters.

This universe of conflict and power was introduced in the Wars card game from Decipher. Now, you can step inside of it, become a character battling in the eternal conflict.

It does look very cool BUT I am wondering... it looks closer to standard D20, then say B5 or Starship Troopers... just wondering why? BUT I will still pick this up (and SST next week YEA)
 


Looks gorgeous. I particularly like the gun graphic.

It certainly looks like d20. I see no d20 logo, but I'm guessing that's principally so you could release a complete setting with chargen and advancement rules, no? OTOH, it doesn't look like you included feats from d20 Future (or anything else for that matter). Is that correct? Candidly, I want to know if I can still claim that Dawning Star is the only full-scale science-fiction campaign setting based on d20 Modern and powered by d20 Future.
