    D&D 3.5 Damage Reduction rules in d20 Modern

    I plan o using the 3.5 DR rules for as much as I can, since they are, as is said above, a bit more balanced for those without the abilities, since it don't matter to those with it. I'm also gonna use the 3.5 rules for a few other things in my d20M game, like lycanthropes, heck, any beast that's...

    Parachutes?

    Um... Just a note, the Profession skill in d20M has no subtypes. It's just your ability to make money effectively (hence why it's used for wealth gain). Now, I might look into Blood & Guts (military sourcebook). Or you could boxed text it with a simple tumble, jump, or reflex save (depending...

    Skills Based on Backgrounds

    Occupations? Well, I'd use a modified version of d20M's Occupation system. (I saw a d20M expansion called "Classically Modern" that had good generic, non-modern exclusive, versions). Bascially, what you do it choose what your character did before he adventured, and you then choose 2-4 skills...

    New GM's question about action points

    Well, I'm in one, not so typical d20m game (along with a few others, but they are onlise, so they're slow). Really, we seem to go through just enough Action Points that it's nice when the next level comes around so we can get a new bunch of them. On to the VP -> AP conversion. I'd use a 1d6 ->...

    2nd-level characters with Fireball

    Well, I can think of a few things, most of which you'va already covered. First, make sure the requsition DC is high enough, and that they requisition all the items they want at a time. Also, I'd base the FC guns off of crossbows, that way it makes a bit mroe sense. Also, are you giving these FCs...

    Modern (80s/90s) Pulp Characters

    well, let's see, after my votes, it's McClane in the lead, with Ash close behind. Indy's one vote behind Ash, who was a vote behind McClane himself, and then Mr. T follows 3 votes behind Indy, and Bond and Dundee tied for fifth. Well, it looks like we've got some Bruce fans out there.

    Need a few more operations for base classes

    Okay, let's start at the top. I'd make the sniper a tough or tough/dedicated. Why? Because it's the only way to get the Concentration skill, which is the requirement for the Dead Shot advanced class from MPC (1 or 2, no sure). Unarmed Combat specialist, yeha, strong works, maybe strong/fast...

    Convince me to buy Urban Arcana!

    I'd say to buy it, but not if all you're interested in is the equipment that should have been in the core rulebook. If you're interested in magical version of most of the advanced and prestige classes from MPC vol. 2, then i'd buy it, maybe. It's up to you, but you have to remember, it is D&D...

    Sliders D20

    Well, I'm not sure about what you're looking for, but I'm a Co-GM in a d20 sliders game over on RPOL. (It's not quite ready for players yet, but almost) And what we've done is just convert to cash (using MPC vol. 2) and then have the counter/timer itself controlled by the Gm chars. (we've got...

    Has enthusiasm died?

    Just jumping in here... Yes, made the check, okay, now, as to what "modern means to me, I'd have to say anything during or after the industrial revolution. Yep, that'll do it for me. To me, that's what the "modern era" is, when we became an industrial society. (I guess that'd mean that it was...

    Questions about D20 Future

    1 - August (that's the best info I've gotten, and it's from a good source) 2 - Supplement 3 - No, it will not, but it will give you more options, which is what every new product does. (Heck, even 3.5 didn't make 3e obsolete)

    Anyone know of any good mechs?

    I highly recommend that you go for the whole 9 yards, and get the 440 one if you can afford it. It has a load of examples, and great ideas for how to introduce the power suits into a campaign. But, if you can't afford the $40, then go for the $20 of the GoO book. It's not as comprehensive, but...

    vicious bad guy idea...at x-mas

    Only for when the adventurers get off way easier then they should have do to, like, a series of really bad/good rolls (bad for you, good for them as well) and you want to still give them a scare.

    Medallions d20 Modern (Update Wednesday 09-20-06)

    Wow Wow, can't wait for the next bit. Heck, you've got the tapes, it shouldn't be that hard to do it between work, and the game, and eating. You don't need to sleep do you? :D Love it, wish I was a part of it, must get magi system to GM! (downloaded, but not looked at.)

    Opening fire onboard spacecraft

    "The Drow Female stands in the middle of the cargo hold, just finishing the last latch on her spacesuit. She looks up, then brings up her left hand, it's a double-barreled sawed off shotgun, and it's not pointed at you. It's pointed at the wall to her left, the wall that's a few millimeters of...

    Monster Motivations

    Gnoll Pimps, and other oddities So, at first, I'd go through and see what, historically (at least, in a Shadow/D&D sense) these monsters have done and why. I recommend the Slayer's guides for this if you can find it for your monster. Then, translate that to modern times, with a bit of the...

    Game Concept: SpellJammer + D20 Modern

    cool sounds liek fun, though I'd throw a bit of Dragonstar in for fun. I really like the Halfling overlord idea. It's so crazy it just might work. That way the taller a race is, the more they have to bow to the halflings, and the less of a role they play, and as a reward, they could get...

    Modern Realms

    well... I've tried to do this myself, and failed miserably. Of course, I tried to do it on PlayByWeb, and without really playtesting it. First thing I recommed you do is outline how magic and tech interact. Then, identify which Modern Earth goodies are there, and which aren't. Do they have a...

    Ghostbusters: Who Ya Gonna Call?

    editor? I really like the game, and am thinking of running a one-shot or something, though I recommend you get an editor or someone to at elast look over it and make sure all the entries make sense. The Proton Pack for one hase a very confusing description. But, that's just me. I do volunteer...

    Matrix and Other Free d20 Supplements

    yeah I'd like to echo that last remark. You need to be very careful when mixing legal and not-so-legal games. I really like your work, but don't want to see you get in legal trouble over advertising in an unlicensed publication for your other work. Now, if I had any money, and I could find...
