I recently bought the d20 future book and i figured
it would allow for an very interesting campaign set in the age of
legends lenn and the eagle that goes to the moon what does every one think by the way the book rocks ive put WOT on hold to play modern but i figure it would be good source for such a campaign -------------------- ![]() |

Lenn and the Eagle that goes to the Moon, from what I
can tell and understand, is John Glenn and the space shuttle that went to
the moon. That's d20 Modern. I'm not saying d20 Future's wrong, I'm just
saying that specific example might not be the best one.

d20 Future is for a Scientific-based future settings.
The Age of Legends, on the other hand, is more of a mystical future
setting, melding Magic and Science into one. Thus, d20 Future really isn't
too appropriete for the most part. HOWEVER, the part on genetic
manipulation would be more than appropriete for someone like Aginor, those
who use the One Power to alter the genetic makeup of people. Mutations are
also good for varying up Blight creatures. Otherwise, though, I'd have to say no. d20 Future is for techno-future stuff, which really doesn't have a place in Wheel of Time. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

hmmm...I think that the Age of Legends is pretty
techno-future, just with a mystic power source. Shock lances sound an
awful lot like energy weapons to me, and jo-cars and sho-wings are cars
and airplanes, respectively. The way that I've been looking at the Age of
Legends is using futuristic technology and adapting it to be made with
ter'angreal and the One Power instead of running off of things like,
electricity. Maybe the D20 Future wont work as is (although I haven't seen it), it could probably be adapted with a bit of work. In fact, I think that I am going to have to get my hands on it. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

I am with you Niveus. Look at the AoD netbook and use
that as the jump off point to set up your WoT Future setting. The AoD is a
d20 Modern take on WoT. -------------------- |

I think that using d20 future is a very good idea.
One of the things that I like about Future is that the rules are not
dependent upon eachother. Because of this, we can pick and choose the
rules that are most WoT-ish, pretty much without worry. |

Here is an interesting thought: We know that during the AoL, space travel was available. It is implied by Moghedien that it was more than just available, but possibly commonplace. So, the question is how commonplace was it? Is it possible that there are colonies of humans (and possibly Ogier) on another world? What is happening there? How did the Taint effect them? Would they be effectively overlooked by the DO or is he planning an invasion from space for TG as well? How many other worlds have been populated and how many of them still have space travel? -------------------- |

I like the idea of Ogier being extra terrestrial in
origin, but if they were, why would they be tied to the
stedding? just a thought. I cant wait to pick this product up and look at it! -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

Perhaps the one power is like radiation to the ogier
and steddings are free of it that would explain as to why they can't
channel it slowly kills them but they see it as a longing
