[QUOTE="IDA_Guy, post: 2391238, member: 28525"] For Immediate Release Interactive Design Adventures Presents the Modern Advances Series, a Cure for Campaigns with Chronic Vanilla Syndrome. July 8, 2005 (Independence, MO) – In a recent FBI speech to Congress, domestic terrorism was listed as the most important threat to national security. Want to add that kind of realism to your d20 Modern game? Then Modern Advances: The Hardcore Activist is perfect. Hardcore Activist features an advanced class perfect for a character who fights for his cause(s) with more than just words, and it also includes new feats, a new skill, and a fully developed NPC. Eight pages in length, this booklet can be purchased at e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG for $2.00. Are you a fan of the TV series 4400, or the top-rated late-night radio show Coast to Coast? Then maybe Modern Advances: Alien Abductee is just the item to bring a new element to your gaming table. This advanced class may well prove to be the solution for the eternal problem of what to do with a character when its player only occasionally attends a campaign. With strange visitors from another planet beaming the character hither and yon (thanks to the class ability called "Missing Time”), GMs will never have to do back-flips to work the character out of or back into the game session ever again. The 8-page PDF sells for $2.00 at e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG. Modern Advances: Hardcore Activist and Alien Abductee are but two entries in an ongoing series of small supplements from Interactive Design Adventures and veteran game designer Steve Miller, and the series will bring fresh air (and a touch of weirdness) to just about any d20 Modern campaign. Other releases in this series are Former Child Star, Spookmaster, and Garden Mage. In Modern Advances: Former Child Star, the advanced class is that of a character struggling to get back into the glorious light of fame. Including the advanced class, new feats, and an NPC, this 8-page PDF sells for $2.00 at e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG. Also available is Modern Advances: Spookmaster. This 12-page booklet presents the Spookmaster advanced class, new feats, a fully developed NPC, and a revised and expanded ghost template that brings this classic creature into the 21st century. This book is available at e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG for $3.00. Modern Advances: The Garden Mage was the series’ inaugural release, and it presents a quirky advanced class that will be at home in d20 Modern Arcana settings where magic is commonplace. By far the oddest Modern Advances contribution so far, it’s for characters who are more devoted to fighting the forces of weeds than the forces of darkness. In addition to the series standards, this release includes several spells and FX items appropriate for Garden Mages. It’s 12 pages of nuttiness that can be purchased at e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG for $3.00. Each installment in the Modern Advances series features a new advanced class along with an NPC that shows how the class looks “in play” and gives GMs interesting figures to add to the cast of characters in campaigns. In addition to the class and NPC, each release includes a mix of new feats, skills, equipment, and other rules that are useful even if the GM decides the included class isn’t right for his or her campaign. All Modern Advances releases are available from e23, RPGNow.com, and DriveThruRPG for prices below $4.00, and they are sure to cure Chronic Vanilla Syndrome in your d20 campaigns.
