[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8534917, member: 6802378"] I could bet WotC is wishing a new d20 Modern, maybe testing with Gamma World, to publish adaptations of famous shooter videogames (Overwatch or Fortnite: Save the World for example) but the d20 system is not ready for a right power balance. I call this "Cobretti effect", because in Sylvester Stalone action movie "Cobra" the "night slasher", a psyco-killer, was too dangerous for a "survival-horror encounter" with unnarmed PCs, but later the main character, with enough weapons and ammo, was a true "one-man-army" killing all the evil cult of the new dawn. And not only high-tech or firearms. Driving a truck you can hit dozens of zombies. And enemies with firearms are too dangerous for the classis challenge-rating, for example a sniper from the top of a building. How can Capcom's "Street Fighters" character to defeat an Overwatch team? Or fighters from Mortal Kombat against the demons from Bestheda's "Doom". If you have played some battle-royal shooter you can guess the importance of the firearms. Do you remember the videogame "the Evil Within"? It starts like a survival horror, where the stealth is the key, and later the PC can become a true "one-man-army". Other point is d20 Modern settings are easier to be adapted into action-live productions than D&D. Wan't there an action-live movie with Will Smith, "Bright", practically an ersatz of Urban Arcana? [IMG width="247px"]https://pics.filmaffinity.com/Bright-955019248-large.jpg[/IMG] * I bought several d20 Moderns, but d20 Future. * This sounds like "WotC" saying "OK, you are allowed to publish this project with your own money, good luck, guys!" to break the ice.
