[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 1371263, member: 7635"] Some geneal Suggestions... My general question (though I can infer) is "Do You Want D&D with Modern Tech or Modern Era Fantasy?" If you want the former (fighters, clerics, armor and Big-F'n Swords) then keep reading. Else, if you want normal type people who just happen to also use magic and fight demons, Get D20 Modern and Urban Arcana. Now, You'll need to probably decide on the following things... * How common is High Tech? Are cars common enough for mass transit or only the wealthy have them?
