Deep in the dusty chambers of an Egyptian pyramid, a scholar fervently studies hieroglyphs in hopes of avoiding an ancient curse. High in a frigid arctic mountain range, a team of adventurers struggles to surmount a precipitous summit, determined in pursuit of their quest. Surrounded by the sweltering heat and dense foliage of a South American jungle an archeologist searches for a mystical artifact, surrounded by wild dangers. In the shadowy back alleys of a distant, exotic city, the agents of a vile secret society forge a plot to gain tremendous power. This is the world of Treasure Hunter.
The Modern Campaign Options: Treasure Hunter Sourcebook is a supplement for use with the D20 Modern rules system. As its inspiration it takes such films as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Mummy and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider . In the style of these classic pulp-action adventure movies, intrepid heroes travel the globe in search of priceless and powerful artifacts. Rival treasure hunters lurk always nearby, waiting for any chance to steal the prize away from their competitors. Trap-ridden ruins and the dangerous animals that inhabit the wilderness are not the only dangers in the treasure hunter’s path, however. Centuries-old secret societies vie for power behind the scenes, some looking to gain the knowledge of the world’s lost civilizations and others intending to keep it hidden for all time.
