I would say that after they hit Supers... they're pretty much done. This isn't "sky is falling" or anything, but what else is there? They've done core modern. Modern FX. Far future. Near future. Post-Apocalyptic future. Past (though if they wanted to do a couple focusing on specific past...

It is indeed from a Video Game... I'll even give the decade... It was a game for the PC in the late 1980s. And it perseveres as one of my favorite PC video games of all time, actually. So... now I'm considering a way to work in more Sci-Fi elements. Goa'Uld, Jaffa, Cylons (old or new...

Space Master by ICE was one of my favorites for years. Now I run D20 Future and pull in all KINDS of sources and just toss proprietary notions out the window. As an example... I had a pirate group of Klingons piloting old Tie Fighters and a YT-1300, with a couple of Cardassian and Kilrathi...

I only played Rolemaster a handful of times, and don't own those books. But the system was so simple and realistic, it was awesome. The only thing that's missing in the D20 skill system is averaging the ability modifier of multiple abilities for a skill. Otherwise (if you take it as D20...

All I know (and care about) is that the skill system is VERY reminiscent of the system in Iron Crown Enterprise's "Space Master" system. Which I think has the best skill system in RPGs. If they had gone ahead and taken it one step further, and stole borrowed the last bit that makes it different...

Yeah. Realistic firearms rules don't really make for fun gaming in my opinion. I want cinematic rules, thanks. When my hero gets shot in the gut, if he survives I don't want him to have to carry around a colostomy bag, or something... and RPing a person who's had a destroyed organ or two...

Not only that... but there's just no accounting for taste. There are all kinds of RP reasons to use the weapon of choice which may just boil down to "Because I think they're spiffy!" :)

Yup. And it illustrated one of my pet peeves. "What's the benefit of [x]? It deals less damage than [y]!!! *sniffle* Why even include it if it deals less damage? WAAAAAHHHH!! I want my numbers higher!" Not every weapon is every other weapon's equal. Why include a .22 pistol when a Barrett...

See, Vig? Told ya we needed to add something in there for Taskmaster. :) Taskmaster is the very reason for the Photographic Reflexes power included in the book. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that digs Taskmaster.

Hey.. I recognize those characters. ;)

All the love for Gamma World can be seen in Darwin's World 2.

If you're looking for locales, there's Modern Backdrops by RPGObjects. They're not full cities, but rather, places of interest within those cities. If you have some in-game towns/cities where the PCs call their stomping grounds, it's relatively easy to just incorporate the places into existing...

Pretty much anything by Vangelis, really. Most of their stuff I've heard has a great sound for Dark*Matter themed gaming.

UFC D20 Modern? ;)

I did caveat that with "for myself, that portion of the podcast struck me as" And no. I actually wasn't offended, but simply wanted to call attention to the way it came across to me. And I'm glad you understand better where I'm coming from. As a pagan, however, it's in my mind how these things...

*shrug* To each their own. I'm not particularly thin-skinned, and I wasn't necessarily offended (nor am I easily offended). But the tone of what I heard came across as I said in the previous post. As I said, though: take it for what it's worth. If the feedback has no value to you, then there...

So... I'm about a third of the way through the first one, and I have a criticism. Not a critique, but criticism. While talking about the new "Wickerman" movie, you guys kinda push the misconception that modern pagans are weird or scary. We're really not. Chances are that you know several...

A fine question. Charisma is more than a reflection of looks or how personable a creature is. It's also a reflection of the strength of a person's self identity, or force of character. Hence the reason Intimidate (force of character) is based on Charisma, as well as Diplomacy (personable). In...
