[QUOTE="Krensky, post: 4691360, member: 30936"] For me, d20 Modern likely 'failed' for two reasons. First was the paucity of support, or perhaps more accurately, the perception of lack of support. WotC published a decent number of books compared to a number of other games, but compared to their other game or some other modern game systems (d20 and other) it felt like it was unsupported. The second, and this is the bigger one for me, is that there were so many other games in the non-fantasy niche that (at the least for me and my group) did the job better. Mutants and Masterminds, Spycraft, Fuzion, Hero, GURPS, Silhouette, D6, etc. d20 Modern was not the first, or even really in the running for when we wanted to do something with a 'generic' system. Even in the d20 space it was competeing with M&M and Spycraft almost before it came out. Then, once True20, M&M2, Spycraft 2.0, came out it was even further behind the eight-ball. Modern[sup]20[/sup] and a number of other OGL rewrites of d20 Modern further hurt it's prospects. [/QUOTE]
