This <strong>5e</strong> setting offers one of my favorite options, random character tables with over 80 charts to roll on. For <strong><em>Arora</em></strong>, characters are more customized than stock, which means each player’s character will feel special. Add to that, Shardscale-maddened dragons which are wyrms with a magical version of rabies, roam and threaten the land.

In terms of details, the core book includes eighteen classes, professions and backgrounds, a new wealth system, and car chase rules; all of this and more comes from the original creators of <strong><em>d20 Modern</em></strong> from twenty years ago. But, the most striking part to me are the Cinematic Adventures, 100+ page sourcebooks with adventures. Set in the worlds of <strong><em>Kong, Pacific Rim, Highlander, The Crow, Total Recall, Rambo, Escape from New York,</em></strong> and <strong><em>Universal Soldier</em></strong>, these officially licensed books are what will drive interest and make this project a piece of history. Prior to this point in the <strong>5e</strong> era, cinematic licenses tended to be for single movies or specific cinematic universes. This project opts for eight licenses may be the start of more numerous crossover RPG licenses. If so, this project would hold a special place in history. But only time will tell. Regardless, if you’re a fan of <strong>5e</strong>, modern settings, or these movies, this is worth your time.

[B][I]Arora[/I][/B] provides a new environment and exploration rules to make exploring the core of these adventures. This [B]5e[/B] setting offers one of my favorite options, random character tables with over 80 charts to roll on. For [B][I]Arora[/I][/B], characters are more customized than stock, which means each player’s character will feel special. Add to that, Shardscale-maddened dragons which are wyrms with a magical version of rabies, roam and threaten the land. If you need a world where the environment itself is against you, where the dragons part of “[I]Dungeons &” [/I]carries the threat, this campaign page gives you a great idea of the epic adventures that await your gaming table.

In terms of details, the core book includes eighteen classes, professions and backgrounds, a new wealth system, and car chase rules; all of this and more comes from the original creators of [B][I]d20 Modern[/I][/B] from twenty years ago. But, the most striking part to me are the Cinematic Adventures, 100+ page sourcebooks with adventures. Set in the worlds of [B][I]Kong, Pacific Rim, Highlander, The Crow, Total Recall, Rambo, Escape from New York,[/I][/B] and [B][I]Universal Soldier[/I][/B], these officially licensed books are what will drive interest and make this project a piece of history. Prior to this point in the [B]5e[/B] era, cinematic licenses tended to be for single movies or specific cinematic universes. This project opts for eight licenses may be the start of more numerous crossover RPG licenses. If so, this project would hold a special place in history. But only time will tell. Regardless, if you’re a fan of [B]5e[/B], modern settings, or these movies, this is worth your time. Check out the campaign page for a link to the free preview.
