[QUOTE="AZRogue, post: 4085892, member: 3963"] Hey, guys. I'm a bit out of it when it comes to new products, or some of the OGL products out there on the market. I really kind of stopped paying attention after 3.5 turned me into a bitter, bitter man (I'm not paying for something that's the same as what I own!!! ;) ). In that light, I need a bit of help. I like d20 Modern. It's my favorite game besides DnD and Rolemaster/MERP. I like mixing it up with Rolemaster because one is sort of rules light and the other is ..., well, Rolemaster. I haven't, though, seen any of the other "modern" games. I know there are some, but I haven't bought any or tried them out. So, my question is this: Is there a d20 Modern game, or similar game, out that keeps things nice and simple the way Modern did, with a distinct "X-Files" feel to it, that has grittier rules? I mean, less hit points, maybe Wound points, Armor isn't AC but Damage Reduction, guns can actually kill you, headshots, etc. Is there a system or book that can be used with Modern, or is close enough to its feel, that injects some major threat into things? Thanks in advance for any help. :) [/QUOTE]
