Combining two systems: D&D 5e and D20 Modern

I meant setting conversion to 5e. But apparently, I misunderstood?

WOIN isn’t a setting. It’s a toolkit ruleset for creating your own setting. The WOIN-powered Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD will be the first major setting for WOIN, though it will be presented as a stand-alone game.

I was curious. I'm making a futuristic, scifi, fantasy type campaign and was wonder if its possible to combine D&D 5e and D20 Modern?
Have you looked at Esper Genesis?

5e based scifi - core rules now on drivethru and hardcopies coming very soo to the upcoming cons and stores.

Been running it for a year. Very nice.

You can modify elements of d20 modern or future to be more like 5e, but I would also suggest you take a look at W.O.I.N. http://www.woinrpg.com/

It has 3 subsystems that follow the same d6 dice-pooling master system. O.L.D. is geared toward traditional fantasy; N.O.W. is geared toward modern settings; and N.E.W. has specialized rules for a wide gamut of sci-fi. Since they all use the same over-arching system, you can mix and match elements from the different subsystems, such as creating a setting where magic and advanced technology coexist.
 

For a sci-fi campaign you're probably better with d20 Future than d20 Modern.

D20 Modern is pretty much a crucial part of D20 Future (it's the foundation for creating a D20 Future character). But I guess if you're looking at tech and classes, you might as well start with D20 Future, and D20 Future - Cyberscape.

Starfinder is also pretty good, although it tries to walk that fine line between fantasy and sci-fi. It tries to include both magic and technology, which may not be to everyone's liking.

As a side note, I made a comprehensive illustrated weapon and equipment list for D20 Future, that includes far more weapons (and weapon upgrades) than the core game. I also translated all the purchase prices of weapons back to credits (because I hate the purchase system).
