#4 Kira_Howler Apr 02, 2008 17:46:42	i can't it's set 2 years in future the only advanced weapons are those in area 51.
#5 dead1ock Apr 03, 2008 12:09:11	Where is your campaign going to take place? Also, what sort of weapons to your PCs already own?
#6 tema69 Apr 03, 2008 12:54:44	Don't you have the Apocalypse book? It's not set in the Future. Just coz the Apocalypse forum is a sub-forum of Future doesn't make it Future. (Urban Arcana is not necessarily Modern either).
#7 Kira_Howler Apr 03, 2008 13:12:07	i know tema69 i set up a thread there, i own ever d20 modern book but the mence manual. And to answer you Dead1ock i personally start with a glock 17 and a remingting 700 though my ammo is quiet liminted. one of my other pcs has a glock 17 and a total of 3 full magazines for it, and the last has a katana yup a katana that's it. he's the crazy one i wrote the segment to take place in the area where your group gets together for me orlando, which makes it a long ride to area 51 in manhatten.
