[QUOTE="Kheti sa-Menik, post: 2184225, member: 22721"] [b]Uninspired, thin, poorly thought out[/b] For my part, I was so looking forward to this book when I first heard about it. Then I saw it. It lacks any real historical information. Instead of presenting options for playing in different eras, it instead includes several poorly designed campaign models all heavy on FX. It's a shame too, since this was going to be my early 2005 crowning jewel as far as gaming purchases went. 96 pages of drivel, of little to no information on various time periods, and no adventures. You know what I'd like to have seen is a book the size of the D20 Modern core book with a timeline of major events for the time periods covered, a brief overview of the major historical events, some ideas on how to place characters in a certain era and what plots could drive a campaign in that era, a discussion and stats for weapons and vehicles of the eras covered, instead of new campaign models present adaptations of the campaign models from the core book to these earlier time periods. In other words, real substance. I was so disappointed. It does not full me with any kind of hope for the future of the D20 Modern franchise if this is the quality of the D20 Modern supplements. I don't much hope for D20 Apocalypse. [/QUOTE]
