Hmmm. doesn't look like there's any D20 Modern in that - is there going to be a separate book for D20 Modern stuff or does Monte not like it?

Field some Questions

I have the book here and can field a few questions as I find time!

As for d20 Modern, I doubt that Monte doesn't like it, rather this was intended to be a 'Dungeons & Dragons' themed collection. As it is, there is a single d20 modern spell in the tome, and it's been updated to work with the standard 'D&D' style of d20 for this book.

Update

From the book:

"Publishers were invited to submit works of fantasy, horror, science fiction, superheroes, modern, and other genres, as long as they were compatible with the d20 System/Open Game License and published in 2004."

Looks like a pdf purchase to me - not alot that screams "buy me".

Cheers

Some of it is cool, but I already own the original books from whence the material came from. What surprised me was the relatively limited number of sources for the final collection. I wonder if not that many products were submitted, or if the culling process was far more draconian than I originally thought it could be? I'm thinking the former option, personally.
