They're two completely different things. D20 Modern is a fairly broad and customizable system which is for games taking place in time periods fairly close to out own, with supplements for less similar times. D&D is a system meant for a very, very specific type of setting which is very, very different from anything the real world has ever seen.So, on that vein, I have to say that it's equivalent to asking "When does Star Trek become Warhammer 40k?"Long story short...D&D, as a rules kernel* can handle any imaginable setting where experienced warriors survive multiple blows from heavy weapons, magic is real (and common, and safe to use), and so forth. All it takes is renaming things, and changing classes around flavor-wise.D20M, as a rules kernel* can handle any imaginable setting where every fight is a risk...and, well, that's about the only stipulation. All it takes is renaming things, and making setting-specific occupations and so forth.My experience is that GT is just an extension of D20M, making the setting-specific elements mutable by default so you don't need a 40-page house-rules document to run a campaign with it, or worse yet, three expensive supplements. Hence my seconding (or the seconding of) the GT suggestion.* Rules Kernel: the basic set of rules; the general concept and mechanics; the stuff in the SRD</blockquote>
