Re: [WW] No more WW D20?

["richard spangle" <lost_rich@hotmail.com>]

if this is indeed the case (i fear i have no yet seen said issue of GU), 
then i am totally bummed. WWII shall join the (massive) assortment of other 
'dead' systems in my library (anybody remember AMAZING ENGINE, EXPENDIBLE or 
DOMINATION just to name a couple). but i shall adapt and patiently wait for 
"d20 MODERN" to come out this fall and just start working other settings 
into it.  does anyone know how far WWII will run with it's supplements 
before it "officially" dies?

have a day...
