I wish he would, but I don't think there's one planned. Shame, as I really liked the first one.

Cheers

According to posts on his board, he's not planning one. Which is a shame, since I think it's one of the best books I own.

It's too bad to hear that, since I think the first one was a great book too. I guess it's not surprising considering Monte's announcement that he's changing his focus from RPG products.

I'd be interested to see if another company steps in with a product like this. Just not sure if the same book *without* the Monte Cook name would get as much attention.

Jonathan Tweet, maybe. I loved his Omega World treatment of the Gammaworld game.

I'm not sure if it would be much use to me, as I might very well have most - if not all - of the sourcebooks the material would likely be derived from. I do try to pick up the "best" d20 books, when possible. . . with some notable exceptions.

Still, for all the people not going crazy with the d20/OGL purchasing nowadays, the idea has merit.

One of the problems Monte stated with doing a second volume was that there was a low volume of "regular" d20 material in the past year. And I have to agree.

I think he already wrote this year's best d20.

It's called "Ptolus."

I wonder if he's not doing a second volume because:

a. It didn't sell well enough to be profitable
b. He's no longer doing D&D stuff anymore
c. Since a lot of 3rd parties are no longer doing D20 the book would either be too small or the material not good enough
d. Some other reason
