[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8483889, member: 19857"] If you check out the product link you'll find that in the sample images for the product they have two images for a character sheet. From the character sheet it's pretty obvious that it's a 3e-era d20 or d20 modern hack. Which is hilarious to me as they're using a license from Wizards to create a game to use to try to steal the trademark out from under Wizards. Other ways it's hilarious to me - this is a game that already exists in that d20 Future had a Star Frontiers setting as part of itself, so anyone who wants this kind of game can already get it from Wizards themselves since d20 Future/d20 Modern is available on DriveThru. But of course getting it from Wizards wouldn't be making money by "sticking it" to Wizards which is the point of this exercise as far as I can tell. (Also the character sheet has no space for "species". Who makes a Star Frontiers game and doesn't have the different species at the core of the game? This is what makes me think it's a d20 Modern rip off rather than a 3e d20 rip-off - the d20 modern sheet didn't have a species/race slot at the top because d20Modern mostly assumed you'd be playing humans.)
