[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7313626, member: 6925649"] Looks like you've been busy. I've been working on stuff as well. I'm doing a setting which combines Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 and D20 Modern/Future. The way I've combined it is I've got rid of Defense and the level based defense bonuses, and replaced them with three Armor Classes, two of which I have borrowed from the Starfinder RPG, they are AC, KAC, and EAC, which stand for Armor Class, Kinetic Armor Class, and Energy Armor Class. Each Armor type has different values for each Armor Class, this allows Modern characters to interact with D&D characters, and gives advantages to modern and future weapons over D&D weapons. Of course the Modern classes don't have magic. There is also two Worlds, a D&D World and a Modern/Future World. The Modern/Future World is a relatively near future Earth, lets say in the late 21st century, the D&D World is Venus, not the Astronomical Venus, but a Venus with steamy jungles, dinosaurs, and all sorts of D&D monsters and races. One gets to Legendary Venus through a pair of gates above the South Pole of Astronomical Venus. Ever hear of the Venus Polar Vortex? [IMG]https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.nMCUz3FbqhFZbn10BM1FLQHaIp&pid=Api[/IMG] In my campaign, the eyes of these storms are gateways to a parallel universe, so one has to first get to astronomical Venus, pass through the eye of one of these storms, to travel to the parallel Venus on the other side. In this setting, this feature was only discovered once humans began exploring the upper atmosphere of this planet. The storm is a side effect of the existence of these gates. Here is a map of an important continent on Legendary Venus. [IMG]http://www.worlddreambank.org/V/VENISHTA.GIF[/IMG] This is the equivalent of Faerun from the Forgotten Realms or Toril, it is an actual continent on Venus, the only difference is that the actual Venus has no oceans, Even Legendary Venus is a hot world, not quite as hot as the real Venus, but still, its position closer to the Sun means it is a hot world, so the most habitable continent on it is one that is close to the Pole, and within easy reach of one of the semi permanent swirling vortexes. the gate opens when a living creature comes near, thus mere probes do not activate it, it is an extra planar gate, the universe on the other side is coterminous and shares geological features in common with our universe, and that extends to the planet Venus itself.
