I know this sounds insane.. but ive been working n this for quite a while and its shaping up to be pritty strange and amazing. im not creating a thousand years of history but brining the world exactly as it is into modern day.
some cool concepts that have appeard at brainstorming:
With acess to space travel dragonmarked houses (now Dragonmark corporations) are trying to reach the rings to mine crystals.

sharn is criss crossed with floating highways

nations like droaam are thrid world and lawless

the exploshion in cyre was a test project of the nuclear kind

keep in mind:
magic is still extreamly prevelant and magewrights are still the most common producers
i am not "porting" things from this world into ebbron no ak47s m16 and ferraris.. everything is made by magewrights or dragonmaked corps. with their own desighns and names for products

Have you considered Shadowrun? Not that your concept is exactly the same, but it would be a great resource for your campaign.

Shadowrun is coming out with a new edition this fall, so I would wait a bit for the new stuff since most of the old books will be defunct since it's a total system overhaul.

Though if you're just looking for source material the old edition books kick much booty.

Really? I hadn't heard about that, I figured SR was defunct after the Wizkids/Topps debacle with the action figure sized mini game.

Got any more info on it? (I'm googling it right now)

Oh, I thought this was a thread about using D20 Modern rules for Eberron. I think that would be cool, but probably too much work.

yeah it is d20 modern rules in ebberon.. its not like shadowrun becuse shadowrun is distopian and cyberpunk im looking to bring a fatasy world into modern time... its alot of work i know but so far im having alot of fun doing it. the maint roadblock im hitting is applying certain really cool base classes (artificer) as advanced classes in d20 modern.. im not sure if i just wanna nix the whole attribute heros and just stick with paladin, monk, warrior ect.
