[QUOTE="Naoki00_, post: 5802864, member: 99243"] As the title suggests I've been invited to play in a D20 modern game and after taking a long looking over the rules and play style I have a lot of concerns... firstly I don't want to use a gun, period. it's just a personal thing of mine but I don't really like using guns in these kinds of games, heck I don't like using a bow really. I just feel it's too out of my character type (being more personal and honor bound. I give my enemy respect, that means more knightly or samurai like stuff, not saying it's better or worse then anything else, just my way of prefered play.) As for the melee I didn't see much support for it and don't quite see it as an option but I may have just missed it's main points.\ Secondly I don't really find it very....engaging, being used to the epic fantasy style and being able to be something more then just some normal guy (I like being the super hero, but save the day joe) but enough of me picking...I gotta ask for anyone who has played the game, does it make up for the short comming it appears to have? I know it's mostly based on DM, but really I don't know how it could be made interesting to someone like me who doesn't find 'gritty' (to me it just looks nerfed and purposfully stacked against you) gameplay much fun. So should I give it a try and put my opinons aside or should I bow out before I get disappointed? [/QUOTE]
