Must-play modern/future or horror adventure

[whokan]

We have been playing d&d once a week for 20 years with a few hiatuses now and again. I'm trying to get my diehard d&d group to try something different. Variety is the spice of life! But they are stubborn old dogs.

Before kids and work responsibilities it was home brew or death. Unfortunately, I haven't the time right now to make my own adventures, so I must take the easy route.

I need some sure-thing, get 'em hooked, blow their socks off adventure recommendations. It can be for d20 modern/future, grim tales, m&m, savage world, hero, t20, spycraft, or dragonstar. I suppose we need to crawl before we run. With that in mind, lower level introductory adventures are probably best to cut our teeth. I wouldn't mind some mid- to high- level recommendations thrown in!

Thanks in advance for your input!

Cheers,
Jeff

(p.s. Please direct me if a thread exists on this topic...I did research first...I promise!)

We have a couple of free adventures for d20 Future on our Free Downloads page. Seeing Red combined with Red Truth Revealed would make a really fun game. Everyone I know who has played in Seeing Red has loved it.

I've always heard great things about Masks of Nyarlathotep. It's old-school Call of Cthulhu, but would probably be easy to convert.

I did an adventure for D20 Modern/Past called Sagebrush Horror. You can download it from WotC here http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20modern/oa/20050419a

I was kind of surprised a while back when I found that someone took the time to make a Wiki page for the adventure for their own group, which can be found here: http://play.engel-cox.org/index.php?title=Sagebrush_Horror

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a fantastic campaign, but, as all god CoC adventures, very different from your usual D&D-fare. Characters turn insane or even die like flies; Mythos creatures are nothing to trifle with.

IMHO, all horror games lose when you have more than three players.

If you want to give horror a try, hunt down some smaller CoC module first. The story of MoN is epic, and it would be a waste to start it only to see your group lose interest.

Someone has converted it to the d20 rule set; check on yog-sothoth.com

Thanks for the help. These easily give me enough fuel to start. Has anyone tried anything from modern dispatch?

There are several scenarios for Cthulhu Now that's modern. I suggest The Stars Are Right, which includes the story hour currently playing out at this thread, Love's Lonely Children: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4160168#post4160168

Delta Green now has d20 stats and a scenario involving a body hopping alien. There's also an introductory scenario in Call of Cthulhu, also for a modern game. Both games are in my story hour.

Have you looked at Cthullutech as well? It takes place in the near future with all the elements of horror and the future that you may be looking for.

I have to second the comments about Dawning Star. It is an outstanding future system for D20 Modern with a number of free and purcahsed adventures available. It is also very flexiable allowing for a number of different campaign models. Indiana jones-like dungeon crawls, military based bug hunts, spaced base trading campaigns are all possible.
