The Best Of D20 Modern

[Tetsubo]

A friend of mine just discovered D20 Modern. I'm looking for what people think are the best resources (on-line or in print) available for the rules set. Step up and champion your favorites!

In my humble opinion... Darwin's World by RPG Objects and Dawning Star by Blue Devil Games.

I agree with the DW suggestion. What is Dawning Star like?

The Menace Manual by WotC is really worth getting it puts the naff monster selection in the core book to shame.

Modern Magic and The Modern Players Companion, both by The Game Mechanics are two outstanding supplements. MPC adds in a great system for speeding up equipment purchases at character creation. It also provides a nice assortment of reasonably balanced new feats and occupations.

Modern Magic provides the "Ritualist" class, which is very useful for low powered magic games.

I like RPG Object's Blood and xxx lines...Fists (martial arts), Guts (military), Space (futuristic) and Relics (dark, horror and magic).

I also recommend the Menace Manual as a good resource for critters. If you're looking for magic, Urban Arcana is good; if you're looking futurisitc, d20 Future is a good toolkit rife with ideas; Weapons Locker has lots of guns if that's what you're looking for.

For character generation, PCGen has the MSRD and several of RPGO's books included in it. RPGO also has their own character generator. The free version is just for ordinaries, but if you pay, $10 IIRC, you get all their modern books in their as well.

These books came to mind quickly; most of The Game Mechanics' d20M product is quite good. They also did a d20M martial arts book that was certainly passable.

Menace Manual (or MenMan as I like to call it) is, as several have mentioned, just lovely.

Short version: It's the only full-scale sci-fi campaign setting built on d20 Modern and powered by d20 Future. Created using the "Eberron" design model, i.e., it will support any number of sci-fi sub-genres with modest tweaking.

Long version: Visit our dedicated website to read some reviews and download the preview (including the entire 1st chapter), maps, char sheet, etc.

I think 22 Talent Trees and Another 22 Talent Trees are both invaluable resources for d20 Modern gaming.

Of course, I'm a little biased.

If you like Westerns, then the Ennie Winning Sidewinder: Recoiled by Dog House Rules is a great resourse that uses d20 Modern.
