Cyberpunk Hi all! There's a game from Living Room Games called Digital Burn. It uses d20 Modern as the core engine, but adds on genre specific subsystems, like hacking or cyberware. IMO, it's not a very good game. Too many mechanical problems in terms of balance or resource effectiveness...

Hi all! I totally agree with Psion here. Feudal structures are readily available in the typical fantasy rpg setting book AND the book does give it 6 pages worth of dedicated analysis and techniques for implementation. Moreover, the mechanical system of "political debate" can be easily...

Guildcraft The name's a bit misleading, but it definitely sounds better than "cooperative association-craft." This supplement book offers an approach to integrating organizations into your d20 campaign. For GMs, this book offers a set of organizations that may be used to facilitate adventures...

In the Belly of the Beast "Trust is the last resort of the desperate." Stated on the back cover blurb of this module for 4-6 second to fourth level characters, this sentence clearly defines the premise. In this adventure, we are exploring the themes of trust and cooperation. It focuses on...

Hi Ari! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely check this mod out! BTW: after my grilling of this product, that's quite a vote of self-confidence you're showing. ;) I've definitely enjoyed the work you've done for White Wolf. VAV is excellent, especially the "Chasing Sunset" chapter...

Sights and Sounds Hi all! Yeow! That looks mighty over the top, IMO, but if it works for your group, enjoy! I've got three questions: 1) How do you plan for the evil clerics to collect the taxes? If my group came across a jackpot like this we'd hightail it away from that town as fast as...

Secrets of the Dread Realms When the Ravenloft Campaign setting for D&D 3E was released, there was a mixed reception. It was nice to have this beloved setting updated to the current game rules, but where were the NPCs? To be specific, where were the darklords, those villains that rule over the...

Slayer's Guide to Kobolds This book is a supplement for D&D, focusing on those small reptilian humanoids that everyone loves to disdain, the kobolds. Cowardly, sadistic, and full of trickery, kobolds are the bottom of the monster food chain in many a fantasy setting. Their voices sound like the...

Xcrawl: Adventures in the Xtreme Dungeon Crawl League Xcrawl is a setting book for D&D, which introduces an alternate reality, similar to contemporary Earth, but different in a few significant ways. All the tropes of D&D exist; there are elves, orcs, undead and magic. Yet, human civilization...

Dogma of the Angelitiv Faith Hi all! When you compare the beliefs of the Angelite church with those of modern Christianity, you find many more "botches" than this, like the role of Jesus, the "second" flood, the harsh dualistic cosmology, and the necessity of "good works," among many others...

Signum, Sigil and Scriptura Hi all! Each Engel class receives special powers based upon their Engel order: Michaelite, Gabrielite, Raphaelite, Ramielite and Urielite. At first level, each class recieves the feat "Signum." This opens up the opportunity to purchase four skills of a low power...

Vehicle Redo Hmm, that sounds like a lot of work. How important is vehicle-based challenge to the work and how important is "real world" simulation to conveying the "feel" of the game? If these are both of high focus, then it is likely that redoing the stats will be worthwhile, especially...

Consistency Ah, that makes sense. ;) Well, is there a notable and consistent trend in the manner by which the game stats are off? If so, then you can follow the official lead. If not, then you'll need to set your stats relative to the official stats in a way that simulates "real world"...

Ease of Play Yeah, but is it a problem? IMO, d20 Modern takes great liberty with "simulating reality" in order to provide an easily "gamable" experience. The major instances of such fudging are firearm ranges, wealth and vehicles. If you want realism, these elements of the system fail, but, if...

Cyberpunk Hi all! You're absolutely right, which is why I admitted that dealing with theft was not an issue for the standard d20M base settings. My point addresses the issue of "technology creep" and its ramifications upon the Wealth system, specifically in the cyberpunk genre of Digital...

Greatest RPG Ever Made Is this it? enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8134 Thanks for reading. ---Merova

Digital Burn Hi all! This problem came up in a Digital Burn game that I just played in. The GM ran an intro game based on the Shadowrun combat scenario "Food Fight" to help the new-to-d20 folks learn the game. The scenario involves a mindless (but fun) "shoot out" at the local convenience...

On My Purchase List Wow! This sounds great. I normally don't buy splatbooks, but it sounds like this one is more than just a long restatement of the core class with added nifties. Very cool. :D Thanks for info. ---Merova

Can't Resist. Must Have Tanks Rules. Morgenstern, Those rules look pretty good, IMO. I couldn't find these rules in the core book, in spite of the excellent index. So, I assume they are in another book. Could you tell me where to find them? Thanks. :) ---Merova (who just adores Spycraft.)

Afghanistan d20 Hi all! In Afghanistan d20, the stats for the 120mm turret gun on the M1A2 Abrams lists a range of 650 ft. I think this Af20 gives better simulation of range, but it forces combat into three modes of conflict, long/med/short, thereby slowing down combat. For instance, in a...
