[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2628368, member: 12332"] Modern is my favorite genre to run, so, I'm all for the recent sort of shows. Supernatural was VERY cool, the pilot that I saw. I didn't know they're remade The Night Stalker ... I still watch the old Kolchak episodes from time to time. Each one is sort of a cheesy little d20M episode. And I use d20M pretty much for simplicity. It does modern well, no need for learning another base system ... I like it. I have Grim Tales, and I sort of see them as interchangable myself, as GT is sort of a "toolkit". So perhaps it's both GT and d20M that I usually use for Modern games. I got SC 2.0 the other day and am still digesting it. It's ... sort of like the show "Made In America". There was a guy on there that had a really great product for cheap home-use hydroponics and what he WANTED to sell was a water-feature utilizing it. SC2 is sort of like that. They've done some great stuff with the system, but they complexified and in-built so much Superspy Genre Stuff into the core of it that it's not as useful as it COULD be for other things. And, oddly, Superspies is the last Modern genre I'm interested in playing or running. --fje [/QUOTE]
