[QUOTE="whisper_jeff, post: 313815, member: 6370"] Is there a chance we will see the whole BESM system being sold in d20 form? I for one would spend my hard earned military pay on such products! Oh ya, SAS d20 is awesome. ----- Currently there are no plans to do one but we are still firmly in the "evaluating the results" stage of SAS d20. We do have plans to do some more d20 products but for lines that make sense as traditional d20 products (it'll all become clear when we announce them - sorry I'm being so cryptic...) but BESM is not one that automatically screams out for d20 treatment.
