I would disagree. Tanis half elven from Dragonlance seemed to really exemplify the "half elf" torn between to races thing. I think you should be able to play that as a character. However, I would like to remove the whole Dragonlance tinker-gnomes thing.

Is that from us players complaining about the changes or the DND R+D staff hyping the new "features"?

Now that my group is out of DNDs "sweet spot" and is at 18th level, I have to use a lap top to keep track of my character sheet. So yeah, simpler may be an improvement.

So they extended the sweet spot! Does anyone really believe this? I am sure they tried to simplify gameplay at high levels. In 3.5, when my PC hit 16th I had to start using a laptop to keep track of all the paperwork. It got rather tedious. Simplified that would be better. My main concern...

Set to Music: Talents! huh-yeah. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Uh-huh. Talatents! huh-yeah. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again y'all Although I like the idea of talents, the execution was lacking in modern. I thought they were a way to differentiate...

I think you missed my point. My point is that in DND you need knowledge checks in abstract and absurd subject matter such as aracana, planes, dungonering, etc. Why? Because it is a way for the DM to disseminate information on mythical creatures and places to the player within a context of the...

Knowledge is what causes Modern to fall apart. I consider the DND skill set a weak scaffold upon which to build a modern game. Take a random skill such as Dungeoneering from DND. I ask the DM how many toes does an owl bear have? He looks at my PC and says, "Wow Dungeoneering 25....An owl...

Chuck, Is this book written or a work in progress? Either way, I totally get your vibe. I ran this murder mystery based on a book called The Dante Club. Essentially the PCs were cops tracking a serial killer that was "punishing" people based on the levels of hell in Dantes Inferno. The...

Misa Gonna Die! Lol nice character write up.

&%^@$%.....I didn't really think about spoilers in this thread but I guess I should have known better. At least my group had sneaking suspicions all along.

Are you planning a new project with variant rules? Perhaps D20 modern 2.0???? I'll be the first to start the D20 2nd edition rumors!!! In all seriousness, there is something about D20 modern that I have trouble putting my finger on. I guess the word would be versatility. While, I do agree...

I forgot to nix WEALTH! Not to start up the old debate again....but the system is clunky and arbitrary. Chuck, What changes would you like to see in the ruleset?

I could send you a copy of our rules via email if interested....although I think you are more referencing our GM decision making. Trust is what you get in our group. We've gamed for a long time together and have a general understanding. There is a lot of give and take between us. If the GM...

We left melee attacks as written. We figured someone at high level would be likely get more successful strikes when compared to a low level combatant. The other effects of our firearm system was that uncovered mid/high level characters charging at a low level thugs with a katana were likely to...

Tetsubo, I am a bit confused. You say this was a fan generated module that took 21 yrs to produce. Did this start as an unpublished TSR adventure that you guys completed? Are some of the contributors old authors for GW? Either way, I have to give you props on the very professional layout...

Your constant drum beating of Grim Tales again reminds me that I really need to buy that book :D

Our recoil didn't require new weapons stats. For each bullet fired past the first a -2 penalty occurred. 1st- no penalty, 2nd: -2, 3rd: -4, etc. Double tap allowed two bullets fired with no penalty. A burst shot was 3-5 bullets fired depending on burst setting of a specific weapon. An...

Simplicity was what we were going for. I had never thought of adding DR. Not sure why, just never thought of it. It would increase complexity a bit but also add realism. We used to just let the DM decide what occurred. Concrete wall....no penetration. Wimpy plywood table....why did I take...

The way gunplay works in D20 modern. With shooting, I've always had a problem with increasing number of attacks as you get higher levels. A low level street thug should be able to pull the trigger on his pistol as fast as a hardened veteran police officer with military experience. The...
