The Beast Within. [Was Exit 23 OOC, D20 Modern with Dark*Matter elements]

[ES2]

Jarval, I just sent you an email with most of my character information. I didn't do equipment yet, but I got most of the rest done. I hope he fits in with the rest of the group (he should).

 

[Jarval]

Got your e-mail, character looks good and should fit right in I'll send some equipment ideas to you this evening.

 

[ES2]

Cool. I'll check my email later.

So, we're coming to the end of the Exit 23 adventure. From here we've got a couple of options:

• Carry on the game with the same characters. For the next adventure, I'd be assuming you'd be working for the Hoffmann Institute (a job offer from Mr Riley and his superiors being forthcoming). Given that we've lost a few players over the last couple of months, I'd need to recruit a few more players (probably taking the numbers up to 5 or 6).
• Or, if you'd like to give something else a try, I'd be happy to run something else for you. As I've said above, we have lost a lot of players over the course of the game, so if you want to do something else, just say. I'm not trying to abandon this game or these characters, by any means, but if you want to try something else, then that's good with me too

John would certainly want to find out more about this new world... so I'll go with Hoffman institute.

Ditto with Daunte. I'm enjoying this game just fine.

 

[Jarval]

OK, we'll carry on with the Dark*Matter game

As a result of the demon-killing exploits of Exit 23, and subsequent Hoffmann Institute training, everyone can advance their characters to 3rd level. Hit points beyond 1st level are 75% of max, rounded up (so a d4 gives you 3 hp, d6 gives you 5 hp, d8 gives you 6, and so on...). Assume a roll of 10 on Profession checks to increase Wealth at 2nd and 3rd levels, and be aware that the Institute might let you requisition equipment.

I'll see if I can round up a few of our absentee players, and failing that, recruit some new ones. I'd like to take the numbers back up to five or six.

Roger that. Woot woot!

Incidentally, the web enhancement to the "menace manual" is a guide to converting Alternity creatures to D20 modern. Might be useful...

Edit: Also, not familiar with Alternity universe. What does Hoffman teach us, and what Advanced Classes are available? And what other books, besides the d20 modern core, are available (I have Ultramodern firearms, dunno about the rest of us).

 

[Jarval]

Basically, the Hoffmann Institute investigates the paranormal. Which also happens to exist, as you may have noticed... Unfortunately, there's something of a "need to know only" mindset within the Institute, so you rarely get told anything that doesn't have a direct baring on your current mission, and sometimes less than that...

As for Advance Classes, all the classes in the SRD are available, along with the Battle Mind and Telepath and the Wild Talent feat. Magic based PrCs will also be available, but I need to check them over quickly to decide which best suits my idea of the setting.

As far as non-core books go, I don't own any, but I'm happy for people to use stuff from them. I'll need to be sent the rules details so I can OK it, but as long as it looks reasonably balanced and fits the setting, it should be fine.

Oh, and thanks for the heads-up on the web enhancement. Hadn't spotted that, and it will indeed come in useful

Hey all,

Definitely interested in continuing. I'll work up the level advancement on Danny and post it ASAP.
