D20 Modern is out!

[Paragon Badger]

I vaguely remember someone posting a link to a site that had tons of resources for d20 Modern. For the life of me I can't find that post or link again. Anyone else remember what I'm talking about?

Thanks for the review Badger... I just saw D20 Modern in a local store, but it was bagged and I was in a rush... Anyone else have the book and got any reviews to share? I am seriously considering a purchase...

Well I just my copy today (up here in Ottawa, ON) and I am quite pleased so far... Got lots to read now :evil:

I'm particularly keen on d20 Modern's potential for some kinda early 20th century pulp sci-fi/atomic horror... just as a change from my D&D campaign. LOL

Yes, I have an idea.

I've been trying to come up with a homebrew setting.

I want it to be near future. 2025 maybe?

3/4 world's population is dead.

Most all major cities are destroyed. (New York, LA, London etc.)

Magic is on the rise.

Psionics and mutations are beginning to emerge.

I'm thinking that in 2010 or so, we had WWIII. The survivors had to spend the next 10 years in fallout shelters only to emerge into a world very similar to the one they left, yet very different as well.

But where did magic come from? How about monsters?

I was thinking along the line of Rifts. So many people croaking at once released an enormous amount of psychic energy that supercharged the earth's laylines and made magic possible again. Maybe it was the increase in the world's population that made magic fade to begin with.

Maybe there is a limited amount of mystical energy about. Magic was always possible, but it was very weak. All the mystic energy was tied up in all the people walking around. When everyone died, that energy became available for use again. hmmm...

But monsters? Mutations from the bombs sure, but what about the undead and other magical creatures? Magical mutation brought about by the sudden emergence of magic? Awoke from centuries or dormacy?

With this timeline, that means most people have only been out and about for the last 5 years or so. Plenty of time to estabolish makeshift communities and begin understanding how the world has changed.

Any of you guys got any ideas?

Two words: Omega World.

One more word: Fallout

I plan on using this world from two of the best CRPGs ever made
