[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 7572053, member: 50987"] Yeah, I remember running a d20 Modern campaign once, I think it was around 2003? We didn't really have much to say about it. It was fun but forgettable: I remember thinking every character class felt pretty much the same, all the monsters seemed to be different variations on the same theme...it's funny you should mention Buffy, because one of my players used to joke about how d20 Modern was just Buffy the RPG. ...and then we discovered someone had already released the [I]actual[/I] Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG. (We never played it.) I don't mind experience points, but the way they are assigned has always seemed silly to me., and slanted toward violence. Why do we get experience for combat, but not for anything else? It's a little bit off-topic, but to answer your question: I plan to do milestone leveling in this campaign instead of handing out XP. It came up in a Google search; I haven't had a chance to really plunge in and look around yet. (I'm still checking out Esper-Genesis and giving myself writers' cramp from taking too many notes.) I've got it bookmarked, though. :) [/QUOTE]
