This roleplaying game allows you to create and run adventures in any modern setting, from the late 1800s to the 21st century.

  • Four heritages (Human, Mutant, Augmented, and Chosen) and dozens of careers from lawyers to ninjas which allow you to create any modern character with a fun, intuitive life-path system.
  • A wide variety of modern equipment, from the weapons of WW2 to the high-tech gadgets of secret agents. Drive an Aston Martin DB5, brandish a Magnum .45, or use an experimental jetpack.
  • Full rules for running the game, including fast but tactical combat, environments, and extended martial arts and vehicle rules.
  • Extensive guidelines for building your own contemporary game setting, including rules of creating careers, foes, and more, with discussions concerning genre, themes and technology.
Whether you're an elite team operating undercover, a military unit, a group of vampire hunters, or apocalyptic survivors, N.O.W. has you covered!

This is a What's O.L.D. is N.E.W. core rulebook.

Heh. I hate to admit it, but the ninjas sold me on this setting.

I like modern, especially near future to explore the cultural implications of accelerating technology. (The chosens, augmenteds, mutants, are great here.)

But, you know. Ninjas.

The whole James Bond vibe, really pulled the setting together for me.

In that case, you’ll love the dozen or so martial arts careers and the section on Bond-style gadgets!

I wouldn't doubt there'll be plenty more where that came from.

There's certainly a multitude of B-movies to rip off.

Not that I have a problem with doing that. But some of these seem rather close to other people's copyright.

So the inevitable question... when is it going to be ready for POD? :cool:
Click to expand...

Heh. Every book gets that question. Same answer every time! :)

PoD files have been uploaded to DTRPG. We wait for them to approve them (1d12 days), then we order a proof copy, which they print and then send to us +1d12 days), and then we check the proof copy and if it's OK we make the PoD available. So anything from 2 days to a month, assuming the proof copy doesn't come out wrong.

Ok. I'm gonna be that guy: Is there a link to any document that goes over the mechanics of this game that would get me to pick it over some other game? The previews on drivethru don't actually go into that... at least the ones that I looked at.

Nevermind. Found it.
