Again, different, but hardly adventure breaking - usually this results in a slight adjustment to pacing for Modern adventures, IMX.The same thing happens with mid- and high-level magic - again, it's different, but not more difficult, IMX.That's pretty campaign-specific - there are places where non-player characters in a fantasy setting might care very much.Again, the same could be true in a fantasy game - a lawful evil society might have no problem executing the vigilante as easily as it would the child-murderer.I agree that there is tremendous diversity, but I see that as a strength of Modern gaming, rather than a weakness.Yes, but there is no fantasy setting that I know of that has as much background information, available largely free of charge, as the real world.Teleport does the same thing, though in Modern you can make an adventure out of the plane ride itself - like divination, this is an area that's a challenge for some fantasy adventure authors as well.I'm sorry, Warlord Ralts, but I'm not seeing the same problems you are.</blockquote>
