[QUOTE="Lamprolign, post: 453519, member: 7860"] [This post is from Jodo Kast ... Lamprolign posted on my machine last and I forgot to log him out] Thanks Krellic and cthuluftaghn! We're using the Shadow Chasers mini-game from Polyhedron right now, and from what I've heard the rules are fairly faithful to d20 Modern. We'll find out soon I guess! As for Joshua's question about music, I like to prep rock tunes for modern gaming. Everything from Jeff Buckley's Nightmares of the Sea or Last Goodbye, to the Rolling Stones' Paint It Black, to the Pixies' Where Is My Mind, to Love Spit Love's Am I Wrong. Also the tunes that we've quoted to open each story hour installment. I find this kind of stuff sets the mood perfectly. For a really dark moment, Glenn Danzig did an orchestral album called Black Aria. Heavy, dark instrumental stuff. It's good for those moments when tension is building to a crescendo and all hell is about to break loose. Also in response to Joshua, I don't think we'll increase the party size for this game, probably keep this one running solo. The interaction between the protagonist (Gabriel Ansgar) and the NPCs is the essence of the story, and more PCs might muddy the waters. However, I've got plans for a larger group in a different d20 Modern scenario. It will retain a lot of the dark elements found in our First Sight stuff, but should have more light moments as well. Basically the tone of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From what I've seen of d20 Modern thus far it will probably incorporate elements of both the Shadow Chasers and Urban Arcana style games. Stay tuned, the first big action scenes are coming up soon! [/QUOTE]
