Okay now I'm just confuzzled.

This sounds pretty cool to me. I just wonder... will any of these variant rules make it into the SRD? I'm sure there are companies itching to throw VP/WP into their own games, for instance...

I hope so too. The question was asked on Andy's site as well (and I wanted to know myself) but Andy wasn't biting...

I really think folks are getting the wrong idea about this product, or I am...

Comparing UA to AU is rediculous...
AU is meant to replace the players handbook. It is an alternative ruleset complete with its own default setting. UA is a book of alternate rules meant to be implemented into a campaign to enhance the existing rules.

Similarly, it makes little sense to be outraged by this book because they just revised the core books. This is not a further revision. This is, as far as I've seen, nothing more than a set of alternate rules which can be used with the existing rules if you care to use them.

I personally think it is a great idea. I have a very small collection of D&D material, as I only purchase what I plan to use or feel is of very high caliber. I've definately got my eye on this book!

Funny I thought AU was an alternate set of rules...but oh well. In any case I'll just reserve judgement when I can thumb through it.

I was sure this already WAS OGM?

But I have no idea why. Maybe I'm thinking of the defense mod?

Would have to be Defense Mod...that was in d20 Modern, so it was out there as Open Content...but VP/WP is from Star Wars d20, which has NOTHING Open about it...sadly enough.

Doesn't Spycraft use VP/WP?
