ADB Makes Progress on New Items

Steve Cole writes:

We're finishing a series of new products right now, and everybody is working around the clock.

Federation Commander: Orion Attack is the next in the series. It will have new pirate ships and new police ships for the Gorns, Romulans, Lyrans, and Hydrans. The new Orion ships include the Battle Raider, Double Raider, War Destroyer, Battlecruiser, Heavy Battle Cruiser, Slaver, and Free Traitor. Entirely new concepts include the commercial platform, defense satellites, and planetary defense monitor ship.

Prime Directive d20 Modern: Many think we should have done PD20 with the modern rules in the first place. (We do, too, now. At the time, the fact that there were 10 times as many d20-fantasy core rulebooks in print as d20 modern rulebooks in print made that look like the way to go, but those players won't play non-fantasy.) Jean Sexton has been cracking the whip on the writer (Jonathan Thompson), the layout guy (Mike Sparks), and the universe background guru (Steve Cole).

Booster Pack #21 will make its long-delayed debut with new ships for the Lyrans and WYNs. Booster Packs #22, #23, and #24 will come out earlier than could normally be expected, with added ships for the Orions including the heavy cruiser, OK6 captured Klingon cruiser, and the Nightmare of Orion (dreadnought).
