[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4718054, member: 29112"] Yeah, I have it. Haven't tried it yet though. Anything in particular you want to know about it? I'll do my best to recall stuff accurately, starting with some points below. :) All in all, I'd say it's still a fair bit like d20 Modern, but it [I]looks[/I] better, to me. The classes are a love or hate thing, I expect. Names like Brainiac, Speedster, Tank and so on - well, they'll appeal to some folks, but maybe put some right off. For my money, they should be fine, and do better (or appear to work more intuitively) for emulating action movies and the like. IOW, your typical sources, for games like this. There are some nice touches, like having Occupations as well as the traditional Backgrounds and the six classes. These also give a character 'Perks', which in some cases allow you to use skills in ways that are locked away from others, who can still of course have ranks in the skill itself, and do the usual stuff with it. Other perks might add to Reputation, f'rex. Skills are consolidated, in the standard 'modern' ways (so to speak), like Stealth and Perception in place of the old Hide et al. There are some additions here too, IIRC. But damned if I can quite remember what they are. Hm. So, anything else of immediate interest? edit --- some reviews: [url]http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/13/13616.phtml[/url] / [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/blogs/psion/364-modern20-review.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
