D20 Modern Library; am I missing anything essential?

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Isn't Redline from FFG?

Yes, FFG. http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/hr01.html

Best "Mad Max" style post-apoc game I've seen.

Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch is avaiable. It's a science-fiction campaign setting built on d20 Modern and powered by d20 Future. Free downloads including an adventure are available here: http://www.dawningstar.com/downloads.htm

Elements of Magic - Mythic Earth. I won't say it's essential, but I wrote it and I encourage you to take a gander at it. Arscott a few posts up seems to like it.

The info is in my sig.

It looks pretty cool, but doesn't seem like it'd be much use for a post-apocalyptic game...

I was hesitant to suggest it myself. (What can I say: Chad's exuberant, God bless him.) OTOH, you've got a lot of books on your list that I can only assume your mining for mechanics. OQL's got dozens of occupations, advanced and prestige classes, feats, a Barter skill, equipment and weapons, xenomorphs, etc. that could easily be used in a post-apoc game. Most of the tech is PL 6 and 7 anyway.

I want to see DS in as many people's hands as possible, and clearly you're not a chisler, what with your extensive collection. I'll offer you a money-back guarantee: If you pick up OQL and don't get something useful out of it, let me know, and I'll send you a refund.

Yes, keep the recommendation, ignore my branding

I do indeed mine for mechanics and I'm not on a terribly tight budget. Digging a little further into the product description and what you've told me, I'll probably take you up on that offer soon, and you'll very likely be keeping my money. What you've just described sounds well-suited indeed to my needs. You got me. And also, just for the courtesy of extending me a money-back guarantee, when I do pick it up and finish reading it, I'll write a long, extensive review of it like I've done with the Roles & Classes and Future Player's Companion products.

Redline is indeed cool, but as it's a standalone and not strictly a d20 modern book, it requires a bit more conversion than the other material I have. I like it (having looked it over) but not enough to buy it retail. I'll probably try to snag a copy off ebay or something eventually.

Along the lines of Redline (in terms of 'being a thing in and of itself', not in terms of genre), there's Cybernet by Mongoose (yes, actually by Mongoose ) - don't know how much use it'd be, but it's kind of Cyberpunk for d20 (it was meant to be, at least). Sounds like it's basically in the right area, I guess.


By the way timespike, what a lot of Modern stuff! I'm going to have to start filling in some of those gaps myself, I can see this.


edit --- also, I would recommend picking up some of the old CP2020 books, because some were truly great (IMO), but only if you could be bothered mining them for ideas and possibly converting like mad.


... and: Ultramodern Firearms. Did I not see that on your list? I suppose you've got the other gun book, so why bother. Meh, never mind.

You say that like there's only two gun books on the market. At least five publishers have produced firearms books for d20 modern.
