[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 504118, member: 3987"] I'm not complaining that its too fantasy-oriented or even that its too 'heroic / unrealistic" I'm just saying if you wanted a realistic modern game this isn't the one to use. I am complaining about the gunplay stuff, but to be honest you can live with it and house rule round it. It just the autofire rules are so stupid they should not have got past playtesting. As for too generic I don't think so, if anything its too tied to D&D with the settings they give as examples, with the same magic system, same monsters. Say you want to do Highlander, its great, you want to do Witchblade, its okay, you want to do Stargate its possible. You want to do COPS, The Godfather, or something like that, I'd say its probably not best suited to it. Same say if you want to do Hong Kong style action movies, D20 Modern can do it, but Feng Shui does it better. D20 Modern isn't bad, its good at what it does, but even with the reduced Massive Damage rules its still really designed for heroic fantasy type gaming, if you want that in a modern setting then D20 Modern is what you want.
