I may have mentioned this before, but I'm a huge fan of Green Ronin's Mutants and Masterminds. It's the only reason I ever gave running D&D a try since I liked the simplicity of M&M and exptected the original d20 game to be as simple to run and/or play. D&D was not what I wanted and ever since that failed trip into the world of D20 Fantasy, I've wanted to see M&M-style mechanics and point-based character creation in a d20 Fantasy product. Well, I recently read about Sony's new e-book reader that will be able to show PDF files and have been excited about the prospects of using it for RPG books (as well as regular reading) and saving a lot of room.
So, I was peaking at RPGnow.com, an online retailer that sells pdf gaming books to see if many of my favorite systems were getting treatment in pdf format and found that Green Ronin is now selling a generic d20 system, "TrueD20," based on the M&M mechanics as well as a new setting using the system, Blue Rose which appears to be a fantasy setting inspired by the Valdemar books. Both of which I'm very excited about and may be my first purchases when/if I get Sony's new e-reader.
