Message: <blockquote data-quote="Achan hiArusa" data-source="post: 1698539" data-attributes="member: 2597">Adventure! and Aberrant d20I really like Adventure! d20, my only problem is that a few daring feats and knacks suffered in the translation (I have a thread on the d20 Modern board about that) and that the character sheet and the index weren't in the book (I started an Index, but I haven't gotten around to finishing it).  It has replaced Pulp Heroes in my heart as the game I want to play pulp in, need to translate some of the stuff into Adventure!  I am also working on using V is for Victory (sigh, the loss of Polyhedron) to keep my game going until WWII.As for making it d20 Modern, my answer is an emphatic NO! NO! NO!  IMHO.  Sorry, but the Pulps had strong stereotypes that can be answered by having specialized starting character classes.  d20 Modern starts out too generic for a Pulp game (this was a unanimous agreement from my group when Modern d20 Pulp came out).  It would be fine for a more realistic or modern cinema based game, but not for the pulps (something more cinematic than base GURPS).As for Aberrant d20.  I am glad the book came out, but it is way underpowered.  Also the Mega-Ability scores aren't granular enough to translate the various novas out there.  As another poster said I have created my own version using Mutants & Masterminds, using stuff from Aberrant d20 to supplement it (I use hit points because that is what I am most comfortable with starting is Con + 1d6 per level, I just make Aberrant levels +30 power points per level with a +2 to the power stacking cap and 1d10 HD and the Aberration of course, I use 10 + Power Level x 4 + Str mod + Int mod + Con mod as quantum pool and make the powers cost per level/3 rounded down as the quantum cost of the power, and Hero points go well with Archetypes and Dramatic Editing, and I use the NPC classes for normals).</blockquote>
