Next D20 Modern Campaign Setting!?!

[Knightfall]

Okay, after voicing my opinion JPL's wish list thread, I thought that a poll might be in order to find out what Campaign Model/Minigame d20 Modern fans would like to see get its own setting book. Ihave listed all the "major" ones I could think of, but it's possible I missed something, thus, the second last option. None of the Above is for those that prefer to create their own homebrewed d20 Modern campaigns.

I've also listed some classic games, as well. Star Frontiers is combined with Star Law, as Ionce heard that Star is basically a cutdown version of Star Frontiers. Gamma World is listed with Omega World, for completeness. d20 Future's The Wasteland and d20 Apocalypse's Atomic Sunrise are listed together, as they seem too similar to keep seperate. I've also listed Shadow Chasers and Shadow Stalkers together, as they are basically the same setting in different time periods.

So that everyone isn't forced to vote for only one option, I've enabled multiple votes. That way you can choose your favorite d20 Past, d20 Modern, and Future campaign.

Cheers!

My "others" choices would be a campaign based on time travel and/or alternate worlds, as per the Alternity accessory "Tangents". Also, I'd go for spy thriller setting, which I believe Top Secret was (I never played it).

I see Bughunters but not Magitech.

I see Bughunters but not Magitech.

That's because Bughunters is a Campaign Model in d20 Future, while Magitech isn't, and i didn't think of it.

Amazing Engine had some great campaign settings.

I voted for Dark Heart of Space (as well as others) assuming that it was something like ICE's Dark Space -- written by Monte Cook.

Not quite like Dark Space (I loved the Natharlnaca and was glad to see them in Chaositech), but in s imilar vein. There is a sinister force in the lightless depths creating and preying on man's misery and strife. Plus is has possesed agents

Since I put in a vote for "Other", here's the explanation (weird as it may be). Show the lesser used genres some lovin'! What's wrong with some Chan-tastic / wuxia / luchador one shots? Heck, combine that with one of the others and you can re-create most of El Santo's movies where he challenged all sorts of monsters or relive Jackie Chan Adventures (or one of his Indiana Jones knock offs), etc. Heck, howzabout the little touched western horror genre so far only touched by Deadlands, Darkwatch and Billy the Kid vs Frankenstein (I think that's the movie's title)?

Yes I realize there's things like Blood n Fists, etc. but I want more!

Why do they have to be one of the mini-settings from the existing books? I can think of a dozen more different interesting campaign settings for d20 Modern that haven't had a mention in a WotC book.

A fully supported classic space opera setting would be nice. I am not that enamored with Star*Drive, but it could fit the bill.

I would be all over a full sized Iron Lords publication like white on rice.

I'm biased, but I like [smallcaps]High Fantasy[/smallcaps], which is the small sample setting in Elements of Magic - Mythic Earth.

[smallcaps]High Fantasy[/smallcaps], the sample setting of Mythic Earth, is a world where magic was driven from earth centuries ago, and is now slowly struggling back into the eye of disbelieving humanity. By the common myth among magic users, knights of Camelot quested to drive the magical races from the human world of Terra to the world of magic, Gaia. Now, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, magical creatures have found themselves more easily able to cross back over.

Is it because, as the tide of public opinion in technologically-advanced nations shift slowly toward acceptance of different races, cultures, and religions, our fears and superstitions are no longer strong enough to keep magic at bay? Is it because the High Court of the Fey, powerful beyond mortal ken, only ever went along with the exodus because of their famously irrational whims, and now they have changed their minds? Have a group of devoted mages found a way to draw the two worlds closer together? Even agents of the Bureau, the secret organization charged with protecting humanity from magic, do not know the answer to this mystery.

The [smallcaps]High Fantasy[/smallcaps] setting is detailed in brief in Chapter Three, and it presents just one way to use these rules to create a mythic setting. Primarily a setting for the Modern d20 rules, the historical era of [smallcaps]High Fantasy[/smallcaps] could easily work for a Fantasy d20 game.
