[QUOTE="silenceindigo, post: 4206774, member: 64571"] Hi HalWhitewyrm, Thanks for your interest! I am indeed in the transaction process to distribute through IPR and [url]www.rpgnow.com[/url] Actually, the D20 Modern version is all done, it's simply a technical problem with uploading the cover files that I can't seem to correct despite repeated retries. (Possibly an issue in converting from Photoshop CS3 to .png or .jpg format). I think the bug is strictly related to the server since this book was printed out before and was quite fine. For the "indie" homesystem version, you may get samples of the book (which I think covers the system's generalities) here : [url]http://www.lulu.com/browse/preview.php?fCID=2051458[/url] In a nutshell, the "indie" version's core system works a bit like Blackjack or playing "Chicken", by the opponents taking turns bidding dice (in secret) and revealing them simultaneously. Both sides can choose to keep on bidding by aggravating the violence level, narratively speaking - each new bid worsens things but also rises the risk of global catastrophy. Since the players take the role of political leaders or huge war machines, the rise in violence can reach proportions of war as the world reacts to the violence. Think "Hunt for Red October" for the tension factor... When the total of both pools reaches critical levels on a Conflict Barometer, bad things erupt, from personal loss to severe wounds, to personality traumas, to global-scale repercussions, to nuclear winter. For each total of X points or so on the Conflict Barometer (e.g. 0-9, 10-15, etc.), new consequences arise. The idea behind the system is : how far would you go to succeed? Essentially, the winner gets the stake he hoped for while the loser gets to narrate the consequences. But sometimes consequences are far worse than what you were aiming for, making defeat a preferable option. [/QUOTE]
