D20 Modern and RPGA

[lmpjr007]

Just want to get the interest on how many D20 Modern players out there would support a RPGA sanction regular events similar to what is done with Living Spycraft?

Hello, Louis Porter, Jr.

I don't know about local groups or smaller regional conventions, but at Gencon SoCal this December d20 Modern was NOT represented by the RPGA. At least not a single RPGA session is listed in the con schedule book. There were I believe 5 d20 Future events for the RPGA, with at least one of those events being cancelled, (of course the one I wanted to get into).

I was interested in this to get the info for Justin of Blue Devil Games, so this will eventually get noted in my Gencon Report which I can't seem to finish. :\

This probably isn't what you guys are looking for, but The Game Mechanics have RPGA-sanctioned adventures.

Hope this helped more than not at all.

I saw this a while ago and that is what got me interested in doing this topic. If Game Mechanics is doing RPGA adventures: 1) Will they be doing more? 2) Will other 3rd party publishers get a chance and 3) Do people really want that?

I'm interested in D20 Modern events. Not to hijack, but what difference does it make if the RPGA sanctions?

It seems to me, any setting that is RPGA approved normally has a stong following and most importantly get support by way of more regular material out in books and such. I am sure those of us who like D20 Modern would like to keep supporting it and just like to get new sourcebooks, adventures and materials for it too.

Personally I would like to find a way to do similar to what the RPGA has done, but make it easier for all to do.

I posted a message on JD Wiker's boards and he said they are working on a "living style" campaign for D20 modern which will premerie at Winter Fantasy. What I'm *assuming* is that the RPGA will look at play numbers for these adventures and decide how many modules to *order* for the campaign. Right now the modules at WF are the only ones for the new campaign.

Well, winter fantasy is happening less than 2 miles from where I live...but I'm not an RPGA member. Might join just to play modern, if someone can tell me it's worth it.

Anything to support the game!

If it makes a difference to your decision, Rich Redman (co-author of d20 Modern) wrote the first adventure (Slave Drivers), and I wrote the second (Flight 23).

As for whether or not we'll do more--yes. We have a third part of the mini-campaign planned, and if the mini-campaign itself is well-received, we'll no doubt do more.

And, as for whether or not the RPGA would be interested in other d20 Modern adventures/mini-campaigns, you could always ask them. That's how we got involved, after all.

I have tried to get out of Ian what is going to be announced at Winter Fantasy but he has been quite tight lipped. Like I said before, I am sure there are several of 3rd party d20 RPG publishers that would love to support a D20 Modern RPGA line.
