Perhaps the biggest reason I mentioned Jack London is that he based his stories on his own real life experiences in Alaska, which was not only wilder than the Wild West, but also damn cold. :) I am surprised that London is not taught in school, but his subject matter is ususaly very grim.

Seeing as how one article is highlighting Urban Arcana, no surprise. If Shadow Chasers comes out then we'll see more designers remembering it the other way. :D Depends on where you sit. As compared to the SF step children of d20 Modern, Agents of Psi and Genetech, The two magic settings have...

While I agree the two genres can be mixed togther for fun, I am drawing the line at this example. I can understand the reasoning why American movie makers thought they needed an American in the movie But ... Tom Sawyer! >.<!!! Pecos Bill, Wild Bill, Helll! a Jack London character! Better yet...

I did some mixing for a d20 Steampunk game and had no problems, (It was even done in literature, in Dracula). I think the comment, however, is that Victorian and Western themes don't mesh on all levels. For example: Victorian is about "good form" Western is about "getting the job done any way...

Another way to address the problem is to admit that the PC live in a comic book world. :) I know that might sound like "d'uh!" for a moment, but I have found that the more the players AND GM embrace the four-color world, the easier M&M gets, for example: Incorporeal: In a comic book world...

Louis Porter Jr. Design just put out a power book as a pdf on rpgnow

Glass elementals *shudder* and the like are the great stuff you can steal from Werewolf products. Book of the Wyrm is also one of the most perverse modern "monster manuals" you can find anywhere. The great thing is that most of these critters can be presented as either unsettling metaphors for...

One extending the copyright laws, I am of a mixed mind. If it benifits the creator and his hier, great. If it just means that a publishing house can squeeze the IP dry after his death and run the dignity of the concept for a quick buck, I am not so hot on it. I swear, it seems more people are...

Now we just need to get rid of 10 of the 20 levels and it will be perfect. :D.

But that begs the question how would you tweak a "jedi" class into being an Advanced class. I have already solved the vitality point issues by saying that using the power causes subdual damage (subdual representing extreame fatigue in this case compared to brusing and the like.)

Some info on Bad Axe forum about Grim Tales. Q: by Voneth Just curious, are there going to be mutant powers as well? A: We call them "Paranormal Adepts," but yes. Q:And how does the Spellcraft system look? Will it be something that can be used for psionics as well? A: The Magic system is...

As a general note, I finally got to look at UA's "conversion notes" and basicly what they say in between the lines is "Don't mix and match. Take the character concept to the otehr, we won't bother offering real guidlelines on letting you use actualy DnD PrC or spells/powers in d20 Modern or visa...

Don't forget that the 3ed party community has shown more support for similar product, such as psionics. Heck, Sword and Sorcery does have the option of including psionics - with a back story- in their Scarred Lands game.

I'll back up the "M" suggestions, either Marvel or MnM. :D

In my frustration of getting tired of waiting for some psionics stuff to come out for d20 Modern, I am tempted to covert over the DnD stuff, especialy the PsiHB PrCs. Any ideas on how to do this? Make them Advanced classes? Or should I spit up the 6 versions of Psion and Psy Warrior into...

I was watching this episode of Insomiac and the crew was doing Fantasy Fest in Key West. The very last image is a guy in a Lord Soth costume signing the wavier to be on the show. Honest LOL!

If you use the search feature on this very fourm, you'll find my "mondernized" Aboleth -- complete with space flight and an "contagious" minion. You will also find my two versions of Stirges (Electrticy Vampire and Puppet Master) and my "Underwater Miners" version of Skraggs (marine varient of...

LPJ Design has three sets of d20 Modern day maps at 5 bucks a pop or you can get all three in one set of $8. http://www.rpgnow.com/default.php?manufacturers_id=308 I like them because they print out on 8X11.5 sheets and then I can mix and match them to my needs. The bulk pdf had about 70...

Some times simple solutions are best. My suggestions: 1. Allow only Immortal PCs, this way when you make any "Immortality" rules, it affects the players across the board and there are no balance issues. White Wolf took this concept to the bank, time and time again with their PC monster game...
