d20 Modern: anyone still playing?

[atanakar]

It's funny how your tastes and preferences change over time. I really loved d20 Modern when it came out and played it for quite a few years. I have a huge collection of 3rd party d20 Modern products too. Then 4e came out and the d20 Modern party ended soon after. Today I prefer Fate Core/Accelerated games. I would consider d20 Modern again but if I'm being honest I'm just not that enamored with level-based "zero to hero" games anymore. We used to ramp up the starting level with d20 Modern so you could at least start at the first level of a prestige class rather than one of the basic classes.

We did that too. Skip the first levels. Also, I don't use the XP system. PCs levelled up at key juncture in the arc story.
