Good to hear that Mongoose are getting their act together.
While Mongoose has always had good ideas, i've been turned off their books:
a) While mostly well balanced most books have at least something in that is severely out of whack - meaning I have to check through it all to see what I allow.
b) Some of the editing is completely flawed, OGL Cyberpunk & Horror (the two I've read) have some severe flaws.
c) OGL - I'm sorry but I don't like the OGL books, I have d20 Modern, I have D&D - I think they work admirably and the OGL books repeat 90% of it, it just isn't worth it, I'd rather buy a 128 page suppliment.
d) Some of the art is appalling, what's with all the naked ladies (I don't mind female flesh - but in context please), bad scans excasberate the problem, and some of it is just plain poor.

Don't get me wrong I do like Mongoose, but its just too flawed to spend much money on.
