They need to relaunch it with one setting in mind first. Later they can expand and add new settings, until the fanbase for d20 Modern can grow as much as D&D fanbase.We need to reform the rules so that it is simple yet can emulate cinematic "movie" actions, from the grittiest of films, or over the top stunts (and somewhere in between). I hope that the rules do not derived from D&D 4e, even though the accountant in me says it's best to cater to the much larger D&D fanbase, which mean more customers can enjoy d20 Modern 2.0 better than the existing one, which means more profit coming in. (Of course, one can argue that most D&D fans only care for D&D, period.) Using the Star Wars rules is a good template for the new Modern rules. The rules also have to be modular, meaning I can plug-in or plug-out any elements I choose for my own type of Modern game. If I want to play with magic or without, I can do that. Plug-ins not only have to work seamlessly with the core rules but with other plug-ins. If I want to play magical mecha game, it should work with as little critical flaws as possible.</blockquote>
