[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6186147, member: 36150"] I'm well familiar with the Dresden Files and a whole lot more of "Modern Fantasy" titles. I've previously run a d20 Modern campaign where the players would often "slide" from Modern to Fantasy D&D (largely as a way to save time and work by running pre-gen D&D adventures with d20 Modern characters) - in fact, for a short while, the game featured my then-gf as the aforementioned ghost PC. Said campaign ended when it was revealed to the players that the reason they kept "sliding" is because their psyches were kept in "the Matrix" which was slowly breaking down... because their starship's AI had decided that life was meaningless and was now on a collision course into the nearest Sun. Yup, they were actually d20 Future characters who had to reconstruct their psyches (by levelling, how 'bout that) to the point where they could be re-installed into their bodies, bodies which were now outfitted with Robotech Cyclone battle armor (standard issue) and primed to take out the rogue AI and its mechanical minions scattered about the ship. I wish I could somehow reproduce it. It was glorious. *lol* [/QUOTE]
