Maybe not issue #3, perhaps a later one (with any luck, after January, MODERNIZED will be a monthly thing, so the wait between issues won't be so long).

This is actually what worries me the most. Say I release an OGC setting. Another person looking to expand the setting does so, without permission (as the OGL allows), and creates an utterly terrible product (there's a ton of them out there). Now my name is associated with something I wouldn't...

For the most part, I don't see other publishers having trouble writing supplements for settings from other publishers. Look at the Northern Crown support coming out of Adamant Entertainment, or Blue Devil Games' AEvolutions line (supporting Arcana Evolved). I think that many publishers are...

What's the benefit to making the entirety of a campaign setting OGC?

Psi- running the Raid on Ashkashem series, eh? Well, seems like your suggestions come from a more present-day perspective (and the thread is tagged "Sci-fi"). I'm currently developing a mercenary company resource in a future setting where there are no more governments with large and...

Ah, uglies. There is nothing more satisfying to vape in space than a Frankensteined TIE-halfbreed. Got any titles for these Traveller books, or where I might find them (or a place that sells them) online? I'd like to check them out.

RangerWickett, you haven't seen Blood & Vigilance yet? Oy, you're missing out. Great work from perennial favourite Charles Rice. JPL - I admit, I wasn't very interested in this when I first saw it advertised. Heck, someone had already promised MODERNIZED an epic take on the d20 Modern rules...

Do you use mercenaries in your games? Do you use mercenary companies in your games? How do they fit into things? Are your characters mercenaries? Was one of them a mercenary before the game began? Do your characters hire mercenaries? Do they fight mercenaries? Would you incorporate...

Precisely! I didn't understand how I am "undercutting" anyone.

What am I doing to destroy the industry? I shamelessly produce and promote free gaming material. Just look at my list of crimes recently: MODERNIZED Issue #1 MODERNIZED Issue #2 MODERNIZED Presents: Mecha Power Cores MODERNIZED Presents: The Star Toad Adventure If I had a soul, I'm sure I...

To tide you over until the MODERNIZED Relaunch, we hereby present this adventure, written by the masterful Tim Willard. This adventure winds through the bowels of an abandoned spacecraft, where ingenous and unforgiving traps await your unsuspecting players. Included with the adventure is a...

MODERNIZED, the free local online e-zine for your historical, futuristic, and modern games, can now be found on the EN Gamestore! Hosted by the zine's creator, Gallantry Productions, both previous issues and the Mecha Power Cores supplement are available. And as always, they are FREE! If you...

Holy flaming flame wars, Batman! I think this discussion has gotten way out of hand. Personally, I'd rather see all of you take the energy you're putting towards this debate and direct it instead at creating something useful, like original material. And if you really wanted to do the...

Your NPCs have inspired me to write more C-Aug classes.

I think that sounds pretty accurate. I like it. A Treat Injury check to successfuly perform the autopsy should be first (DC 10 or easier). Roll it secretly. Now, at this point, I think Search, Investigate, and Knowledge (Earth & Life Sciences) checks all have their place. Investigate could...

The Quidditch World Cup. They lead up to it, the show the stadium and the pre-game hijinks, and then cut to Harry and the Weasleys celebrating Ireland's victory in their tent (this omission disappointed me most... I was looking forward to seeing that game). Blast-Ended Skroots Dobby or any...

According to the OGL, any breach of the license is between the publishers involved, and possibly WotC. None of this is the vendor's business. Quite frankly, none of this SHOULD be the vendor's business, as no vendor ever agreed to be enforcers of the OGL (or even the d20 STL, or any other...

Yeah, but that's why weapons have sights built into them; so you can sight your target WITHOUT giving away your position. Even Iron Sights are superior to a visible beam when you consider that.

A Red Alert movie would be pretty sweet. But here's something I never got about RA. Nikolai Tesla came to America during World War I. So why do the Russians have the Tesla Tower, if eliminating Hitler only prevented World War II?

I dunno. The best thing about Half-Life is that you see the whole story only through Gordon's eyes. I don't think any movie could pull off that experience well, and I doubt any studio would try and use the game's approach. That said, I don't think a typical movie storytelling method would do...
