[Q&A] Modern Mayhem: full-length criminal adventure for Modern20

[Vigilance]

Just wanted to let folks know about the next big thing for Modern20: Modern Mayhem, a GTA-esque urban adventure that sees the PCs as a gang on their way to prison after being wrongly convicted of a string of armed robberies by a corrupt cop.

Questions and comments welcome.

I know I am "on the list" but tell us how the adventure is GTA'esque' and how Modern20 is the perfect vehicle for running this adventure.

Regards,
Walt

Yeah, I realize GTA-esque might mean different things to different people, both good and bad.

When I say GTA-esque Im mostly talking about the sandbox nature of the adventure. The adventure mechanically conforms to the way your PCs are playing it.

For example, if you have a high "Heat Meter" rating, you will have more violent confrontations with the cops. But the best way to raise your Heat Meter up high is to be violent.

So the more violent your group is, the more violent the adventure is.

There's also three alternate endings, based on your PCs' actions during the adventure.

So the experience of a group who shoots and steals everything in sight will be fundamentally different from the group that acts subtly and tries to help the NPCs they run into.
