d20 Past?

[buzz]

All the (non-modern) d20 stuff covering SF and earth's past isn't enough?

I want a book on Modern Magic (and yes I know TGM made one , yes I know its just as good if not even better then what wotc would do, i'm just waiting for the print version), a book made by wotc, just because i want to see them supporting their own product.

TGM's Modern Magic is out in print, picked it up a couple of weeks ago.

Not only that - it's REALLY good. The Lesser Incantation and Voodoo rules were worth the price of admission for me, and the rest of it was quite good also. I can't wait to use some of these things in a game.

Looking forward to this --- whatever it is.

Old West, Victorian, and pulp seem would seem like the main contenders...

Heck, I'm already using d20 Modern for a past-setting campaign.

What would be the ramifications/difficulty of making d20 Past usable with both d20 Modern and standard d20? (Asking as a noob, relatively speaking, in this area...)

Grim Tales.

Can't you make Victorian and Old West part of the same setting? It's all the same historical Epoch, ya know?

I really wish this book (and d20 Future while were at it) was coming out for plain d20 instead of d20 Modern. I'm totally bummed.

Why is that? d20 is great, but it assumes a very specific kind of setting, with fantasy races, relatively abundant arcane and divine magic, alignments, etc. As a "blank canvas" game system, d20M is vastly superior, as Grim Tales demonstrates.

I've been trying to run a campaign for about ten years now that is set in a low-magic, pseudo-historical world, and to use extensive houserules on top of the various D&D editions has been brutal. If I had had Grim Tales 10 years ago, my life would have been made much, much easier.

True. I guess I was thinking Western vs. Victorian Gothic vs. Steampunk / Scientific Romance. Same era, different genres.
