The Best Of D20 Modern

[DMH]

LPJ Design on rpgnow has a large number of D20M based pdfs. I picked up The Little Black Drug Book, Dope Fiends, Modern Chemistry and Modern Maladies for Gamma World (drugs and diseases should be used in a serious GW setting). All of them are well written (esp the latter two- Neil knows how to puts words to paper) and the only downside is there are no tables of content- not that it really matters for short pdfs.

And I second the 2 22 talent trees from Bloodstone. Some are meh, but some are very useful.

Modernized isn't defunct. The layout guy/editor in chief is a full time college student who does the 'zine in his free time.
Issue #3 nears completion even now.

Various pdf's from Ronin Arts are pretty good. I like the monster specific ones like Vampire and Werewolf.

Also, Blood and Fists is an awesome supplement.

Blood and Fists and Modern Players Companion are probably the two books I would recommend after the core book.

Blood & Fists II and Blood & Brains are two more great resources. Blood & Relics is a REAL d20 modern setting.

Menace Manual is a great, idea-laden resource as well.

Red Star is a little off the beaten path for d20 modern, but it's bee-yoo-ti-ful and intriguing.

I'll give a plug to Grim Tales, which on the whole isn't strictly a d20 modern book, but has some great expansions to the talent trees.

I'll put in my vote for:

Modern Player's Companion (I & II)
Modern Backdrops
The entire Blood & XXX series
Menace Manual​

I know I'm forgetting some. We have a home brew magic system, so I can't vouch for things like Modern Magic. I'll see if I can point the rest of my group this-a-way.

And BTW, if you have a RBDM, do NOT get a copy of Call of Chthulu. It WILL be used against you

I don't understand how I missed pimping Sidewinder: Recoiled in my post above. I think it is the best D20 Modern book I've read yet; the creators put all their passion for the subject into it, and it shows on every page.

Thanks.

Probably one of the best buys for D20 Modern is the Modern Dispatch. Weekly supplements from four different companies (one supplement/week).

I really like the Iron Lords of Jupiter minigame published in the Dungeon/Polyhedron.

The Menace Manual is a great monster book; I wish more were like it. Not only does it have what would be considered traditional monsters, it has a cool collection of NPC teams, from mercs to "Ocean's 11"-style thieves. It also adds to the core book's collection of "stock" NPCs, which I also like a lot.

I like Urban Arcana, but I don't think I'd recommend buying it at regular price. If you can find it secondhand, it's worth getting.

Another vote for Darwin's World 2.0, too.
