[QUOTE="Roudi, post: 2863914, member: 12423"] I'm going to ignore this, as it basically ousts any good OGL offerings that HAPPEN to be geared towards the d20 Modern ruleset. That aside, let's begin. 1. [b]Ultramodern Firearms[/b]: the book I turn to when I need to reference stats for real-world weapons (or extrapolate for weapons not found in the book). Also one of my writing inspirations. 2. [b]d20 Future[/b]: this book is far from perfect. I can't count on two hands the number of threads spawned on this board geared towards fixing issues with some of the rulesets (starships and equipment especially) or offering alternatives. Still, I wouldn't be writing d20 sci-fi material if not for this book. It still serves as a reference point and inspiration. 3. [b]Blood & Relics 2e[/b]: the original B&R made me fall in love with RPGObjects. The second edition of this religious-themed setting just plain offered more. If given the chance to run any d20 Modern game, I look to this setting first before considering any other. As a side note, Canadian Customs has taken offense to this book, as my copy is STILL sitting at the border after almost two years. 4. [b]Modern Backdrops[/b]: another RPGObjects offering, this location book is a lot more than just maps and NPCs. While light on the crunch side, it offers more plot hooks than a tackle box. And not just plot hooks; GOOD plot hooks. Most of my modern games start in one of the five cities detailed within. 5. I don't have a #5. There are a lot of other modern books I like, but these are really the top of my preferences. [/QUOTE]
