[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6165481, member: 17106"] I've played it once; never ran it per se. I have taken a few rules from it. I wish that I, and other people would play it more. There's no reason other than legacy for roleplaying to have any association with the fantasy genre. Indeed, I suspect that association inhibits its popularity. We've been waiting decades for a good rpg for contemporary settings to really make a splash. Out of many attempts, Modern is perhaps the best shot we've had, but it exposes some of the weaknesses of the d20 system and has some new weaknesses of its own. And then 4e came out and the mechanics simply weren't good enough to even think about a modern game or anything else, and now they're working on 5e and don't seem interested as of yet. I do think that a good understanding of d20 Modern helps one understand the d20 system as a whole and it has some good ideas. And if I wanted to, perhaps I could hack a usable game out of it. But it's a shame that it was never revised and never really went anywhere. As it is, I've tried it but I tend to use CoC d20 or Cortex for modern and future settings. [/QUOTE]
