[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7971354, member: 6802378"] Urban Arcana is easier to be adapted to an action-live production, but for gameplay to add firearms and modern technology is harder to find the right power balance when are different playables factions and with different levels of supernatural powers or technologic level, for example a story of barbarian dinosaur-folk fighint against the neighbour tribe ruled by amazon shamans, and both suffering an invasion of goblins with steampunk mechas. With the right firearm only one shot is enough to kill a wolf, a bear, or even an elephat (using special ammo). Broken power level. I could bet the videogame studios will notice soon if they try a d20 future videogame. Some d20 modern stories are only unnarmed civiliations investigating about Lovecraftian cults, other about surviving a zombie-postapocalypse where they try to save ammo for the worst menaces, and others is a group of space marines in a alien-bug hunt with lot of heavy weapons. 3PPs are using 5th Ed rules to create their own d20 Modern setting, and this is good, but we need a lot of work to create the ultimate d20 Modern. What if Hasbro wants a videogame adaptation of M.A.S.K ( maybe version Mad Max, road warrior), Transformers or G.I.Joe (version panzer-punk in a fictional world with WWII look). [/QUOTE]
