[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7500986, member: 6925649"] Yeah that's what I'm suggesting as well, and why not introduce some D20 Modern characters as well to stir things up, and maybe get some of these gods attention if they do. I did read three books in a series called Olympus Bound. Starts with this book [url]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25746707-the-immortals[/url] Now Olympus Bound could be the basis of a D20 Modern campaign, now instead of the mad scientists in his secret lab, it could be a god which gets the modern characters over to the post Roman fantasy Earth, most likely candidate for this could be Athena. Maybe Athena wants to introduce some changes in this 1500 AD world, like maybe introduce democracy perhaps, her patron city after all did invent democracy after all. Maybe Athena is just losing patience with all the kings, emperors and wars in this world, maybe she doesn't much like the slavery that is starting in the New World, maybe bringing in some modern characters might fix this in her opinion, but the other gods are just fine with the world as it is, so Athena can't bring in too many Modern characters into this world without drawing some of the other gods unwanted attention. Mars is fine with this world as it is, he likes it even better than when the Roman Empire stood at its height, because of the Pax Roma, and he is a god of war not peace. Mars started siding with the barbarians who sacked Rome, and got a lot of converts among the barbarians, so Mars/Ares is doing just fine here. Aphrodite is a bit of a neutral, she had a fling with Mars for a while, but then she started pursuing other interesting males. Athena wants some more civilization. Gaia is having a creative streak, making monsters and especially sea monsters, she has also populated the oceans with merfolk, aquatic elves, but turning humans that fell overboard into them, she's been doing this for almost 1500 years and they have since formed their own underwater kingdoms. Another idea is that Briton is ruled by a very familiar monarch, someone named Arthur. [/QUOTE]
