I already had the print version of d20 Mecha from GoO, but this is a very good (and nicely laid out and illustrated) alternative to just downloading the free SRD.

A really good netbook with solid and useful rules (at least if you intend to use mecha stuff in your campaign). There is also rules to have these mecha be magical in nature, so you may use them in more fantasy settings rather than pure sci-fi.

To see if they are really useful to you, you may download the SRD for free on the publisher's website. However, this PDF adds a nice layout and fine illustrations, so IMO it's still worth paying for this PDF.

This is by far the most important supplement I have found for d20 modern. My only quibble is that the rules for determining weight and volume are a bit thin. Given that the general tone of this supplement is its lightness I do not think that this is a serious drawback.

Very good. Better in fact than the "official" D20 Mecha book. The type is clearer and better laid out and the artwork feels a lot crisper. The landscape layout is obviously easier for on-screen reading, and not too troublesome in print form either. If I ever need to design mecha for D20, I think I'll probably use this version as my main reference in preference to GOO's book.

Well... This is 91 (shortened 3/4) pages with lots of illustrations. But this, in this case, is not a bad thing.

The rules give a base Pilot character class and a Commander class. It also made this class in an interesting way by allowing the Mech to develop as the player enhances in level (sort of like a Fighter who gets bigger and better armor as he gains levels). The mech is developed using up "Mecha Points". Now this may not suit something like Macross, where the pilot starts assigned with a Veritech Fighter and its variants, the Mech in this SRD develops or gets enhanced when the player reaches every 4th level (giving an extra boost in "Mecha Points" each time). Interesting to see that the Mech's could become VERY individualistic to the players specs. Will it overpower or unbalance? I have yet to see if this is the case. GM's can use a lot from these rules as it comes with a Step by step checklist in making the Mecha. Ronin Arts really does a nice formatting job of this PDF! I'm going to have a really fun time adapting these rules to my DW2 Campaign, as there are some terrific ideas to adapt these rules to a D20-Fantasy or any D20-Sci-Fi. I have to say, a lot of these other freelance companies could learn a lot about creating a great formatted PDF (It's so well done!) from Ronin Arts, Bravo!
