So you guys still playin this old good game? What are you playin? Future, Apocalypse? Past? I want to know and if you can share what you like of this game.
I think d20 Modern is a great game, because of his potential. Just with the main book, you can do a James Bond game, a Buffy the Vampire game, or why not, play a Dr.House inspired game where the players must investigate medical problem. When you buy another book, you have x+1 possibilities. With past you can make a Pirate of the Caribbean game, or playing in the WWII where the nazi are use red dragons to conquer France. With Future, you can expend your game to space and time travel. Star Wars? Never heard of...why being stuck in a little galaxy with problems when an entire group of galaxies are at war! This game is just awesome. People told me that you can do anything you like with DnD. But with d20 Modern, you can play even more what you really want to play.
I do plan to run a (near)Future game with my expanded advanced classes and altered FX when I visit my friend (and his friends) in ND. I'm told they're all looking forward to it, so I'm currently putting a lot of time into campaign prep. Since we have a very limited time, I'm running what is effectively "D-DAY IN SPAAAAAAAAACE!" to get them right into action... though the setting keeps on gaining depth each time I revisit it. I'm adding races, cultures, and all sorts of fun stuff they can delve into if they choose during the possible PbP spill-over.
I'm having a blast with game-creation and hope it'll be just as fun for my players.
D20 Modern is one of my favorite systems.
More Beer variant: Southern Vets with corporate intrigue and weird-science R&D
Eventutally we WILL overcome the adversities and figure out the psudogovernment corporate shenanigans, to get the interstate beer distributer to ship to our redneck bar again.
Anyone up for a one shot play-by-post game on the board involving a group of Level 20 characters fighting off a Tarrasque?
lol! Not unless you allow Wish as an accessible ritual. j/k :P
These days we play D&D4E and SWSE. That doesn't mean I won't go back to Modern at some point but I fear 4E and SWSE have contaminated by brain enough that I may do extensive modifications to the game... Maybe Wotc will comes up with a Modern 2.0 before that.

Oh yeah lol. I exactly know what you feel lol. And no. Modern as been let behind. I suggest you create some rules yourself and post them on the Forum so that people can run them.
I had problem with SWSE. All player made a Jedi with Skill focus and most of them used Force Training to gain Move Object. They killed a Rancor boosted with Force Powers in 5 round.
Im currently planning a 4E game and I will take the Allegiance system of d20 Modern instead of Alignment of 4E.

English is not my mother tongue. It takes me forever to write something
decent.

That's sad. I'm blessed with a group of players who like the story over and above «minmaxing» or combos that kill the game.

Now that's an idea... tks

Buy low,
sell high,
kill buyer and sell high again offworld.... ahhh, good times
Not A Pen Dragon
not to be confused with my surname Pendragon
first name Uther
yes i know, i don't have the sword, i ain't a king, just had the misfortune of having a really weird name.
We are finding allot of issues with the rules, they aren't as polished so we adjust as needed. But the scope of technology and the flexibility to create diverse hi-tech environments is great.
I combine my game with astrosynthesis software to generate star systems...great software.
Work has won over getting either of my two regular gaming groups back together... but eventually, I'd LOVE to start running my Black Isle campaign again!
Anyway... time to go pick up the roomie from work!
I have all the books, and I've currently reworked it to work well as a d20 Fantasy game, although I'm still working on Advanced Classes to cover most of the other things, other than magic.
I just love how it works well for all genre's, and it sucks that it's not being supported as much, except through the forums'. Anyway, keep playing d20 Modern, and who knows, it might make a comeback when we least expect it.
It's kinda hard to describe, but right now we're working for human-like aliens that have us doing missions to get particular items, and having our plans very nearly literally blow up in our faces. It's pretty darn fun.
For the last few months I've forgotten about d20. I just saw a video of the game Stormrise (a not-so-great scifi RTS). Some of the mecha/creatures really made me itch to stat them up.
Honestly, is it possible to see this or this and not drool?
Sweet.
The other game is a D20 Future game that I haven't really gotten a handle on. It's sort of low-tech a'la Firefly, but also Space Opera-esque. Our group consists of an aging space trucker, a strange girl who makes everyone think she's a 12-year-old boy (and refers to herself in the third person as "she" or "her")(and is also a sniper), a mob knee-breaker, and me: "Iron Colm" MacDougal, explosives extrordinaire. Crazy sun've'a'gun. Sort of an old Welsh guy, ex-military demolitions expert. Calls people "China" and has three robotic fingers from when he blew up a "firecracker" (dynamite) in his hand. I like to have the other players say to people, "Look, this guy is nuts, we really don't know what he'll do" and actually mean it (within reason). Fast hero going on Smart hero into Soldier.
The modularity of this system is what really makes me love it. If you have a concept for a character, you can do it. What's more, you don't need to look through five books and stretch your suspension of disbelief to do it. Aside from the base classes, skills, feats, advanced classes, and even prestige classes, the starting occupations add another layer of customization to it to help define one more aspect of the character.
Been a while since i wrote stuff here
Of all the games I've ever bought and/or played, I love how unabashedly generic it is. It's probably the only RPG system with which you can build believable regular people-type characters, yet flexible enough for heroic action with just a little tweaking, and that's exactly what I want from a modern setting!
but heck if i can get the hang of rpg tools i might consider hosting a game on it
