I find this particularly interesting seeing as my wife and I have had similar discussions regarding RPGs as modern mythology in the making. Larger than life characters battling larger than life villains in larger than life ways in a "real" world setting. "Neo" folklore at its finest.

My all time favorite is the Marvel Super Heroes "Ragnarok and Roll" adventure series.

Get into a non-lethal melee with the City Council, bind them and dress them all up as clowns. Take pictures and post them as posters all around town. Stage a bank robbery. Throw the cash from the roof of the tallest building on a windy day. Or... Stage a bank robbery. Take no cash, but force...

Let Ralts know.. he'll likely send you a copy, or authorize a new download. He's cool like that.

If you purchased the products from RPGNow or ENWorld, you should be able to download them again... No reason for the lost thing to stay lost.

Ooh! Or... They ARE WWII Supervillains, who when it is made clear that Germany is absolutely on the losing side... Hitler and the good Herr Doktor Eugenik make use of a time machine to flash the whole team (and themselves, naturally) forward in time nearly 70 years, and make a Blitzkrieg...

Or maybe Traumchen. I like this Dispatch... perhaps one of the best ever (right next to mine, of course). And they're not only good for WWII... They're great for a nasty mad German scientist who longs for the "good ol' days" and wants to bring back Nazi Germany... Uberkrieger is very much...

They're balanced. And good additions. There's a martial arts supplement for D20 Modern that is (in my opinion) better, and more thorough, though.

Enh... I'd rather create my own, using D20 Modern/Future.

With what focus? And how modern? What world? Modern Oerth, maybe? The problem with assuming a particular setting as the default for D20 Modern is that's not what most people are using, from what I've seen. And it wouldn't matter the setting... most people aren't using THAT one (because most...

Huge underground bunker ala the military bunker in The Hulk. Space based ala Asteroid M in the Marvel Universe books. Big disused sewer cistern and passages ala the Morlocks in the Marvel Universe books. Abandoned military base. The Hive from the Resident Evil movie. (I never played the game...

It would depend on the nature and extent of the revisions, for me. For instance... if they re-did damage reduction to be like D&D 3.5, I'd be all over it. And if they used my revision to the autofire rules... I'd be all over it. Other than that... it'd be a case by case basis.

I dunno... they hit modern fantasy with Urban Arcana. But for classical fantasy... well... While I'd agree that D20 Modern's ruleset is superior to base D20, I'm really considering genre that are what should be considered D20 Modern. And yeah... there's plenty of room to release a lot more...

To continue on with how they've hit the bases on D20 Modern... Other than full-out comics style supers, what can you not do that is relatively recent past (from the 14th century or so), modern or future based with the WotC books so far released and the slightest modicum of imagination? All the...

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...
