Questions about D20 Future

[Biohazard]

1. Do we know when D20 Future is being released?

2. Do we know if it will be a D20 Modern supplement, or a self-contained game?

3. Do we know if it will make S&S's Gamma World obsolete?

1 - August (that's the best info I've gotten, and it's from a good source)

2 - Supplement

3 - No, it will not, but it will give you more options, which is what every new product does. (Heck, even 3.5 didn't make 3e obsolete)

2 - Supplement

To my understanding, it will be based on d20 modern, but it will be self contained. Not a supplement.

Wizards' staff have previously stated that d20 Future is a supplement to d20 Modern. If this has changed, I wish Wizards would confirm it.

Why worry about it? It's almost a year away.

Mind pointing this out to me? I've never seen that. When I was at Gama last year and talked to WOTC that wasn't the impression I got.

Here's the d20 Future page at the EN World d20 System guide:

The short blurb on the product does indicate it will be a d20 Modern expansion/supplement, though I don't know where this came from exactly:

D20 Future is a future-setting expansion for D20 Modern, designed to handle genres such as Bladerunner, Minority Report and Aliens.

Because it would forestall the "is it a supplement? is it standalone?" round of queries that always comes up when d20 Future is mentioned.

It's a supplement for d20 Modern. Makes no sense making another standalone core game book, when the bulk of the rules is exactly the same as d20 Modern rulebook (sans the magical and psionic FX). Think of it as a new set of sci-fi FX plug-ins.
