im just curious why everything is so hostile around these forums? it seems every thread devolves into useless mudslinging simply because two people dont share the same opinion, i noticed it especially on the threads about upgrading modern.

for the people that arent for it, if they ever do upgrade it you can still use your older version if you dont agree with the upgrade, and for the people who want it upgraded, you should respect the opinions of the others.

the insults and petty internet fights dont get anyone anywhere guys.

People have been posting 'upgrades' to the d20Modern game for years.

All the recent infighting is due to a D&D version war spilling into our happy forum.
For some reason, folks say we are no longer free to come up with our own uprades but have to obey some unyeilding cut&paste job of some other game.... that we cant take what we like & drop the rest

I'm done trying to upgrade our Moderns here
cause folks cant grasp that what we do does not have to be exactly what WoC will do, or how WoC will do it, if WoC every does publish another version of Modern

Fresh meat! Get 'im!

*various generic flaming and hostility*

Also, don't worry about it. A Huggle Treaty was recently signed in the other thread, so the version war may be coming down to a simmer.

Boils down to each side disagreeing with each other so much and being so stubborn that they get frustrated trying to convince one another, thus the arguments have devolved into an endless "NU UH! YEAH HUH!" back and forth. On top of it both sides won't GET OFF THEIR GODDDAMN HIGH HORSES LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THEY'RE ALL ACTING LIKE F-ING CHILDREN!

Sorry.

Seriously, nobody cares if you have the highest horse known to human history.

What's the point of having an intoxicated horse, anyway?

I don't know. If its high on LSD, it might think its a horse of a different color. I hear those appeal to some people...

Life is not a destination,
but a journey
and a high horse makes the journey more entertaining


Besides, High Horse is an old D&D trick:
when the dragon attacks you while getting from A to B
(and it seems like they have spies to know when I waste money on a horse)
you get the last laugh when the dragon eats your Peyote Foddered horse

I am rarely accused of being Serious.
Sneaky, Devious... Sneavious even.... but hardly ever Serious ;)

I mean, we have Bayonets, and we have Grenades & Flashilghts
... it was only a matter of time before someone like me stat'ed the Bayonade or

if doom 3 taught me anything, its that the flashlight needs no bayonet, its a weapon of mass destruction by itself!

Not really much work to be done. You could do it with just the d20 Modern core book, Menace Manual, Weapons Locker, d20 Future, and a dozen sheets of notebook paper.

Most of the weapons are already taken care of, you just gotta stat up the monsters. To keep the flavour of the game, most of the monsters shouldn't be given too many HD with the exception of the big nasties like the Hell Knights, Cyberdemons, etc... From there, it's basically a dungeon crawl through science labs and space stations and hell. :p
