But I did one just like this last week. I know the feeling. It feels like doom.

Ah aliens. They're supposed to have some "Greys" in the Menace Manual aren't they? I don't even think I have an immediate use for them but for some reason I've been looking forward to seeing them. Maybe because it is a modern style creature that we didn't see in D&D, but is also an existing...

Yeah, that sort of goes along with what I said. Sounds like it could take up a sidebar or an entire chapter. :)

So? My point stands. A quiver of silver-tipped arrows is doable in a low-magic campaign. But try explaining why you have a veritable rainbow of magical projectiles in a campaign where +1 weapons are rare and coveted. That goes for the fighter too. Having to wheel around a cart with all of the...

Fifty different kinds?

Want a break from magic and monsters? D20M is just as potent without these things. Investigative and research based skills allow for mystery and intrigue in addition to the usual gunfights and skull-bashing. Want monsters but no magic? Blame the creatures on genetic mutation from hazardous...

Well, I'm not one of the people that demands a rulebook not be released just because it's not something I'll use, or something I disagree with for some reason (witness the people who didn't want WoTC to release a deity book). Denying other people material for such reasons is selfish at best. I...

My open-mindedness? I'm not the one casting aside material from my own hobby because there wasn't a guy like me on the cover. How about that, I'm looking more enlightened already. Oh puh-leeze. I'm sure their experiences have left them unable to use books that don't have their own ethnic group...

Dammit! You knew this tired old argument would hijack the thread the minute you typed it. Anyway. Some of these changes are going to wreak havok on my low-magic campaign. Learned Sage: Sorry my friend, the magic bow isn't good enough, you'll need magic arrows too. Archer: But, but... Magic...

Kneejerk, hardly. But honestly, it doesn't require a whole lot of deep cognition to come to this conclusion. Anyone who shuns a good book because they don't like the cover is a simpleton IMO. Anyone who refuses to buy the book or try the game because they feel they were excluded based on the...

Well, like I said, you could have 1gp = 10, 100, whatever. I see visions of a D&D party crossing over into this reality and collapsing the world economy with all of their gold pieces. :D

Re: Re: It is not that I was unimpressed, but... Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember hearing something to this effect. Thanks for the memory jog.

I wish they would have come out with the future setting before Urban Arcana, but UA predates D20M. As a result, it came out first. I too hope they leave magic out of the future book. Stick to cybernetic replacement bodies, mecha, and neural-net-links, thank you. :D

Well, in the interest of avoiding strawmen :rolleyes: Whether or not putting non-white people on the cover is a sound business move or not, I say good for WoTC! We could use some new blood in this hobby, be it from black, white, asian, aborigine or purple people. Anybody who wouldn't bother...

Yeah, I think a lot could have been done with Genetech. Although, almost any monster in the D20M books released so far could be the result of dna manipulation and biotech. Hehe, Dark Angel is certainly on the right track for the whole "armies, faceless corporations and governments tampering with...

Well the way I see it, there are two ways that immediately come to my mind. Simple: Assume that a gold piece is a dollar (or 10 or 100 dollars). Find out how many gold pieces you have. Table 7-1 on page 204 of the D20 Modern Core rulebook will help with the rest. Complicated: 50gp in D&D is...

This message has been brought to you by Nerf. All we can do is wait and see... I'm pretty sure all I ever had was the nerf boomerang. It spent a lot of time on the roof and in the tree. The picture is the whole family, together again, for the last time.

I was under the impression that there was a future book coming out for D20 Modern sometime in 2004. I could be wrong.

Some of the people on the board may dress like those "scummy-lookin' teenage skanks". They don't look that bad to me. I've seen worse. At least their pants aren't around their ankles. Mm hmm... It's always been my opinion that WoTC should cater to middle-aged white males. I mean, come on, who...
