#1 dahila Jun 30, 2008 14:49:34	Hello forums im new here, but not new to RPGs. i have played my way through many RPGs first normal A D&D, then Vampier, then WhereWolf, then exalted....followed by D20 Golden age of Pirates RPG, i did DragonBall Z RPG for a while...then i made my Own RPG game Called Universe 20-2090. a game where you can be anything you want or can ever imagen. But now im getting into and trying to start a D20 Modern game acculy its D20 Apocalypse. has anybody herd of this one? i bought the little mini paper back D20 apocalypse manual. i think i need the big D20 modern book aswell right??? it looks like u can do a game only haveing the apocalypse one.. anybody els playing this one? or have any good ideas for a campaign.. im thinking Virul deathspawn ridden world. (Zombies) *a place like yellow stone a huge super volcano erupts sending volcanic ask into the whole earths atmusphere. (volcanic ash is bacily floting glass needles you would be breathing plus it blocks out the sun,alot would die.) so the survivros go underground,scientest try and make false mutations for sickness accidently releacing the Virus (zombie virus) some stay up and mutate.. after the ash settelsback down to the ground, people go back up to a barren deaserd landdscape in large areas. the Infected virus holders escape to the above world creating a world of post-apocalyptic days. anyone like this?
#2 trappedslider Jun 30, 2008 23:26:26	you need the D@0 modern core book and D20 future
#3 tema69 Jul 01, 2008 6:59:39	At least d20 Modern yes. If you're planning on including other mutations as well, or the apocalypse struck in the future (even near future), you're gonna need d20 Future too. I'm not sure I understand why your scientists made the virus?
#4 kelvic_dup Jul 02, 2008 2:33:20	Well i think he means that the scientists were working on a mutagenic vaccine that would allow the survivors to travel above ground or combat bacteria and othere harmful virusis encounterd below ground. but they may have accidently added or forgot a key element in the "vaccin" causing untold mutations causing the vaccinated to become "dethspawn". it seems to be a cool idea but youi should add some thing like a possible timeline or the year as stated this would help players figure out key elents of the world and also what the virus is and how it may be spread AKA saliva transfer, air born, liquid transfer. just a few ideas.
#5 dahila Jul 02, 2008 14:09:57	Yes Kelvic has hit it right on the money.... oops my bad guys... 1)the super volcano erupts in the year 2034. 2)people go underground/save for some 3)Scientist's predict the volcanic ash will settle to the ground in the year 2061. 4)2057 Scientist's accidentally create the DeathSpawn Virus (Zombie virus) 5)All survivors Less then half the worlds population, emerge back to the surface in the year 2061 to try...and start over..but what they find is a landscape Barren,desert, alot of plants and trees survived aswell as some animals who protected them selfs. all major citys are left in decay, ruins. the "deathspawn" start to spread. 6)The year 2070 small 20 man colonies have been started ***QUOTEing Kelvic***(Kelvic explained what i was trying to say) Bacily the scientists were working on a mutagenic vaccine that would allow the survivors to travel above ground or combat bacteria and othere harmful virusis encounterd below ground. but they may have accidently added or forgot a key element in the "vaccin" causing untold mutations causing the vaccinated to become "dethspawn". the Virus is contracted from salvia (bite), Scratch. *Note* the event happend in 2034 not to many technological breakthroughs happend from 2009 to 2034..
#6 tema69 Jul 02, 2008 14:30:39	Looks good, So, clawing or saliva will infect you. Since I've been watching too many Zmovies, I'd also determine if simple contact with the saliva is enough, or if it needs to enter your body through an orifice or a wound. And what about their blood (28 Days/Weeks later style - a drop of zombie blood in the eye...). Due to the volcanic explosion tearing up all modern stuff, and due to 30 years of sheltering, you might not need to worry about d20 Future or too many futuristic gadgets. What you need should be in the MSRD, d20 Modern and d20 Apocalypse.
#7 dahila Jul 02, 2008 15:39:45	yeah Tema69!!! you guys are reading my mind. so im gunna pick up the D20 Modern book. and i agree that i wouldent be using the D20 Futuer one altho it would be a good buy. in this campaign the "28 days later" ,drop of blood in the eye thing dose not apply it has to enter through an openwound ... scratch..bite. here is a page i started on createing a Character in this Campaign. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1054603 lets see what you guys got.
#8 kelvic_dup Jul 03, 2008 2:32:56	Well glad i could help. If you need any help let me know i would be honored to help you out if need be.
#9 j0lt Jul 03, 2008 2:52:29	Sounds like fun! Let us know how it turns out!
#10 dahila Jul 03, 2008 14:34:26	yeah guys.. check out my other thread.. its the same thing but you make your Characters for this world ill be posting on both this one and the other one . i have made two Charcters so far. i am trying to set up a game so anyone who wants to play make a charcter and im working on the campaign. here is the link to the charcter creation for this post-apocalyptic world http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=16263194#post16263194
#11 tema69 Jul 03, 2008 14:54:46	Well, actually, d20 Future isn't that great a book. The Mecha/Starship system doesn't really work (or so I've heard - never used it), and everything you need about the book is in the MSRD.
#12 dahila Jul 04, 2008 1:25:33	oh well... this campaign dosent really call for Futueristic things.. im sure it has some healpful things about it. but im not disagreeing that it is not the best book. My Character Dahila Macalac uses a Japanese Katana to cut through his enemys, This Sword was master crafted in the late 1780's by the worlds finest Japanese sword smith. The worlds most deadly sword, in the hands of a man fully trained in iaijutsu and iaido or kenjutsu, a deadly match. To use the least amount of movements with great skill. high Dexterity quick movements..have to be close to your enemy in sword range....neo samurai (kinda like Afro samurai) but i do like Kelvics guy ...an ex-military man with high skill as a soilder...using crazy guns..its cool aswell.
#13 kelvic_dup Jul 04, 2008 1:44:56	Well in a future game he was also a prick and he never gives up his side arm or rifle so he had a few altercations with the gaurds (he wooped up on four of them and succefully disarmed one and broke the nose of another) it was fun.
#14 rustam1 Jul 09, 2008 18:38:07	yeah Tema69!!! you guys are reading my mind. so im gunna pick up the D20 Modern book. and i agree that i wouldent be using the D20 Future one altho it would be a good buy. . Buying the books is good. However, you do know that you can get the source documents here, right?
#15 dahila Jul 10, 2008 23:56:08	oh snap awesome rustam1
#16 tema69 Jul 11, 2008 3:14:11	That was the MSRD (Modern System Reference Document) I was referring to above.
#17 Luis_Carlos Jul 16, 2008 16:02:32	My suggestion is the campagin atomic sunrise (chapter 5) with FX and psionic....and a bit of the TV show Jericho and Jeremiah. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_%28TV_series%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_(TV_series) http://www.jeremiahportal.com/ In the begginins there isn´t aliens nor supernatural elements...apparently. Then the monsters appears...and the humanoids from other plane (elfs, orcs, kobolds, psionic thre-kin..)....and the mythos of chutlhu!!! Perhaps the apocalypse was caused by a plagued of flesh-eaters meta-humans...(a lighter and slower version of marvel zombies, universe 2149 with a bit from Resident Evil saga...and House of Dead). The ghouls- metahumans are people with FX (psionic and magic). The infections isn´t instaly but slower... for some months. Humanity has chance of surviving but all the people with superpowers....aren´t liked...
#18 dahila Jul 16, 2008 17:51:25	Luis_Carlos that sounds cool aswell..im not to sure how to start a game on here so anyone who would want to be the GM go for it and i will join tthe game..
#19 Luis_Carlos Jul 17, 2008 11:57:12	In the beggining nobody (nPCs nor players) know anything about magic or supernatural elements. It´s only sci-fi apparently.... After the psionic powers are showed.... and the truth is revealed; the origin of apocayspse was a secret experiment with psi users to create the super-soldier...Something went wrong and psionic became monster like from the Will Smith´s movie "I am legend" and the morlocks from "The time machine". A terrorist group poisoned illegal drugs with a biologic weapon (from the failed super-soldier serum) to spread a illness like the rage. The ill ones became mindless agresive. The fall of civilation and world economy taked some decades... Suppernatural monsters don´nt appear until any games after. You play with the ambiguity . Ghosts or incorporeal aliens? Mutants or feys? True magic or psionic? Rebember, ambiguity, ambiguity, and more ambiguity. Is there a neuroxin in the contaminated air wich causes hallutinations? Is it a secret chemistry weapon from a hidden community (with the cure). Ambiguity....
