Rumor: G.I. Joe for d20 Modern

Yup, the comics were awesome. Larry Hama is a genius.

d20 G.I.Joe based on comics = good.

d20 G.I.Joe based on cartoon = not so good (but interesting, nonetheless).

IMO, WotC would make money on this either way.

And just this weekend I saw a bunch of pretty decent looking action figures at the same scale at the local discount store... Including some odd He-man inspired sword and sorcery types. Riding dinosaurs, large animals, skull faced guys with staffs. Think of the cross over possiblities.

Duke: Vecna, we're here to put a stop to your evil plans!
Vecna: Forget it, fool. You'll never beat my magic! Meteor Swarm!

:D

Now I know what my next D&D campaign will be. ;) Swords and Sorcery and Sauruses!

Saurus... saurs... whatever. :D
 

I helped (mainly in small ways) on getting a GI Joe d20 forum up and running (other forum).

That all said I don't want to add fire to this rumor but I did get an email from someone wanting are source material say a few weeks to a month ago. (It might have been more or less time) The email address wasn’t from someone obviously important like so_and_so@hasbro.com or so_and_so@wizards.com but I am rather curious now… I doubt it was anything important from a “respectable” company but I guess you just don’t know.

I do think that as much as I love d20 that Hasbro would be tempted to do something a little simpler to attack younger players.

I'm been resisting the urge to say this, not wanting to start a D20 Modern vs Spycraft argument, but...

I think GI Joe would work better with Spycraft...if only because you would START at a Joe level at level 1 (Even if just a rookie Joe), rather then have to get to at LEAST prestige level to qualify in D20 modern. Spycraft just seems more able to handle the 'over the top' action in GI Joe then the more 'gritty' feel in D20 modern. That plus Spycraft has Flamethrower mastery. ;)
 

D20 G.I. Joe? I am SO there! As for this:

And if it sells...the Transformers can't be far behind.

This would be my DREAM RPG supplement! Just check out the link in my sig to see one of the games I'm looking to run. I would SO love to see a D20 Transformers RPG.

"Autobots, transform and roll out!"
