[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 3039069, member: 6957"] I do not think that D20 Modern is TEH SUCK, but I [i]do[/i] think that Spycraft 2.0 is TEH BOMB. :) I will admit that most of my disatisfaction with D20 Modern was because of D20 Past, but then again the only reason I bought D20 Modern was because D20 Past was coming out... it makes me a tad bitter about the whole game. If I had seen D20 Past before ordering it I would probably not have bought D20 Modern, but I also wouldn't have this annoyance with the game. I might later have bought the game and read it with fresh eyes, but as it now stands the taste was spoiled for me. :( There are features of D20 Modern that I think are rather nice, and both D20 Modern and Spycraft have art that is at least interesting. (In this case I give D20 Modern the edge - some of the illustrations just beg to have scenarios or at least NPCs written around them, from the Gnoll Pimp to the Mindflayer Preacher.) I do think that D20 Modern would have been better served with the Vitality/Wounds system, but that is purely personal taste. While I prefer the flavor of the classes in Spycraft I also like the classes in D20 Modern. Both sets of classes are very good. Though I prefer the Spycraft classes I do agree that D20 Modern classes have the edge in flexibility. With Back to Basics I can add them to Spycraft with little difficulty, and I would not be all that surprised to see the counterpart released for D20 Modern. The NPC system in Spycraft is already being (or already has been converted?) to D20 Modern. Each game can benefit from the other. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
