Also, talking about how to take some of the things seen in Pathfinder SRD (class abilities) looks when taken to the Feat/Talent system.There's not a lot of "cross-compatible" stuff between d20 Modern and 3.x. FC sorta blends them, but there's not really a whole lot of information on how to take Your Favorite 3.x Bit and shift it into an FC framework.The alternative magic systems would be nice because magic under the S&S style is generally a Bad Idea. But to be honest, it's something we've had for 30 years. There's constantly talk about playing a "low magic" game, a "grim-n-gritty" game and so forth. I think having a supplement talking about how to tweak FC into a more generic framework in order to run a variety of games would be really cool.An actual bestiary... sorta. I can see how doing a bestiary could be a fair amount of work, but having a sampling of things would be handy. Sort of a "here's some simple critter conversions" as well as some more complicated ones.Like dragons for example.I'm right now working on a blended thing using FC as base. Apparently I've got some odd tastes, so FC doesn't quite hit everything for me; but it's a righteous foundation to use I think.I guess part of what I've been trying to get at with some of my previous posts is showing how FC can handle stuff from other sources. Folks have spent a fair amount of money out there on various books and would like to be able to keep using them. Like for example, WotC books.How can you use a class or race from book [x] with FC? You can't obviously call it out, but in the case of some classes there's OGL versions available and you've got things like Slaves to the Moon which talks about Lycanthropes. So being able to take something like Slaves of the Moon and show how to take a tough race and skip the stupid LA stuff by converting abilities of the critter into a Feat/Talent path would be handy.Or even simply taking something like the the Minotaur, Sprites, and Ogre Mage from the SRD and run them through the Talent/Feat system so that players have a choice of how much they want to invest in being characters with kickass critter powers to augment their character levels or simply a critter that's taken a different path.What about pulling in something like the Psionics system? It's OGL, a fair number of folks consider it to be a good replacement for a point-based magic system. Maybe show how to pull it into FC and then demonstrate how it can be reskinned to do magic. You don't have to give an entire conversion of the SRD spell list, just grab some spells from each level (maybe 1 from each level for each of the SRD magic classes?) and do a reskin. That'll help provide the guidance that's needed for folks to start messing with stuff and take it on their own.Dreamscarred Press seems to be well regarded on the psionics front and a fair amount of their stuff seems to be Open Content. Hijacking a psionic class or two into the FC framework shouldn't be too bad and it allows for individuals like myself to punch up the "wah000" factor if we want and you don't feel like doing it yourself.Sorry if I'm dominating this, but I'd had a lot of hope for FC when it was put out and there seems to have been an echoing silence despite a lot of work and a solid-seeming base. I think being able to leverage other products might help FC gain more traction and help solve some of the "how do I fix..." sort of things going on.</blockquote>
