Goblins ride the subway. Dragons rule the boardrooms. Monsters thaunt the alleys of the urban jungle. It’s the dawn of a new era—the modern world is in the midst of a transformation and most people don’t even know it. A quantum shift has occurred in the fabric of reality; magic has suddenly become very real, and creatures that before were only found in fairy tales and nightmares now walk the streets. It’s the world outside your window, with a serious twist. URBAN ARCANA presents a campaign setting of modern fantasy, using the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game. Within this world, modern knights armed with automatic weapons fight dragons, techno-mages use computer search pro- grams to recover spells lost to the ages, and industrious adventurers discover new realms beneath the streets of the cities they have lived in all their lives. Let’s face it— you always wanted to get medieval in the modern world. How is this possible? The walls of reality have become thinner. Fantastic creatures, powers, and items are pass- ing into this world across a boundary known only as “Shadow.” Some of these new arrivals are good (or, at most, frightened and confused by this modern world) while others are irretrievably evil. Whichever side they fall on, they are all here to stay. You see, travel through Shadow appears to be one way—no one has yet man- aged to pierce the veil to see where these fantastic creatures really come from. As in all times of need, heroes have begun arising to fight against evil—evil that can mix ancient eldritch power with 21st-century technology. The heroes, too, combine their use of modern weapons with the growing power of magic. Not all the heroes are human, and not every source of evil originates beyond the veil of Shadow. International conglomerates now offer consulting contracts to demons and seek the counsel of oracles before signing major deals, for example. Likewise, the creatures of Shadow Samplerecognize both the good and badfile of their new home, and many are willing to take up arms against the bad. What doesn’t kll you DO can make you stronger. The twist within a twist involves the nature of the human always been here, and only the rising tide of magic has awak- mind and the interaction of Shadow. Most ordinary humans ened their true nature. can’t fathom the things of Shadow, and so their minds translate Chapter Eight: Locations details locations both mundane the fantastic and the horrifying into something more mundane. and magical, from factories and bars to ley lines and holy The URBAN ARCANA Campaign Setting places the traditional sites, providing a variety of locations for play and sufficient fantasy races, spells, and abilities from the DUNGEONS & information to make running adventures easy.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

    Da Archive 2016 Amended Jan 21 2017 This is a compilation of most of the pdf share threads and the rpg generals threads from 2016. Don't think of it as a library index, think of it as a road filled with bookstores and little street market booths and you have to talk to each shopkeeper. A HUGE THANK YOU to the Anon Brigade, who do the digging, loading, and posting. It has been cleaned up some, labeled poorly, and shuffled about a little to perhaps be more useful. There are links to ~13,000 pdfs. Don't be intimidated, some are duplicates. Go get a coffee and browse. As Anon says; “Surely in Da Archive™ somewhere.” Part I is the Personal Collections. They are Huge. You need to go to each one and look at them. They often have over 1000 links each. Part II is the Alphabetical Section. Well........ when I say “alphabetical”, I really mean artistically arranged according to my whim and level of sobriety. Ctrl+F will be of limited use in this document, you have to wander around and look with your eyes. Please buy a copy of a book if you use it. No really, I mean it.

  • Menace Manual
    MONSTERS THAT TIME FORGOT CONVERTING MONSTERS When I was asked to help write the Menace Manual for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game, I was overjoyed to see so many monsters on the list from the Dark•Matter Campaign Setting for the ALTERNITY Roleplaying Game. After all, I’d had a great time writing Xenoforms: Aliens, Demons, & Aberrations with Rich Redman, and I was really looking forward to converting some of those creatures to the d20 MODERN rules. Then reality sank in: Converting monsters from ALTERNITY to the d20 MODERN rules wouldn’t be the same as converting monsters from DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, with its built-in d20 System compatibility. Heck, it was starting to look like work. So I put together a system for conversion, which I’ll share with you now. We’ll see how it works with the conversion of a pretty basic Dark•Matter creature, El Chupacabras (from Xenoforms). The Original El Chupacabras is a small creature with 2 Hit Dice that can climb, attacks with claws and bite, and has psion- ics and a blood drain attack. It gains its sustenance by sucking the blood from warm-blooded animals. So let’s see how the conversion process works. Size and Type By JD Wiker El Chupacabras fits nicely into the Small category for size. It resembles an animal in many ways, but its psionic powers make it a good candidate for magical beast. Ability Scores The first thing I needed to change Dark•Matter mon- Converting Monsters for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game sters into d20 MODERN creatures was a method of con- verting ability scores from ALTERNITY to the d20 d20MODERN System.

  • Basic D20rules Checklist
    BASIC D20 RULES CHECKLIST It is quite obvious that Basic d20 is simply a modified version of Mutants & Masterminds that uses various optional rules from the Mastermind’s Manual. This document spells out exactly what rules are used and gives an explanation of each. Page numbers in the Mastermind’s Manual are given in parenthesis. RANDOM ABILITY SCORES (20) Basic d20 gives the GM the option of using randomly generated ability scores. Rolls to find your character’s ability score modifiers should always be made with 3d6. More “favorable” rolling methods should not be used. GM’s are encouraged to allow players to re-roll ability score modifiers if the sum of the modifiers is +0 or less or if the highest modifier is +1 or lower. In other words, characters should have a positive sum for all six ability score modifiers and the highest modifier should be +2 or higher. SHORTHAND ABILITIES (20) Basic d20 uses only the ability score modifier for numerical accounting of ability scores (such as -1, +0, or +2). Because of this, the normal cost to raise each ability score modifier is 2 PP. INNATE ATTACK AND DODGE MODIFIERS (22) If, in your campaign, the Strength ability score modifier is added to melee attack rolls, then it is suggested that Strength cost 3 PP per +1. If the Dexterity ability score modifier is applied to ranged attack rolls and the character’s AC, Defense, or Dodge, then it is suggested that Dexterity cost 4 PP per +1. AGING AND ABILITIES (22) Use normal d20 rules for aging if appropriate to your campaign.

  • My New D20 Modern Campaign Behind the Screens
    MY NEW D20 MODERN CAMPAIGN BEHIND THE SCREENS I’m a longtime D&D player, but I’m also a sucker for urban fantasy. With the Dungeon Master’s Guide and some tweaking, I’ve begun to use the fifth edition rules to explore the possibilities of gunplay in a modern fantasy setting. When Wizards of the Coast released the d20 Modern roleplaying game in 2002, I was in heaven. Gnolls in crushed velvet! Ogres decked out in London Fog overcoats! Living dumpsters that ate people! I was crazy about the Urban Arcana campaign setting in particular. The scenario was a familiar one, seemingly plucked from my own daydreams. D&D monsters and magic (called “Shadow” within the setting) are finding their way into our world. The vast majority of humankind remains largely ignorant of this development, thanks to our awesome capacity for denial. Only a small number of humans and friendly Shadowkind races can even perceive—much less combat—the threats that such an incursion brings. I ran my Urban Arcana campaign for six years. By that point, other games had clamored for my attention, but I never forgot how interested I was in the marriage of D&D to urban fantasy. When the fifth edition Dungeon Master’s Guide was released last December, I knew without a doubt that my first homebrew setting using the new rules would be an updated take on Urban Arcana, adapting firearms and modern armor for use in an urban fantasy game. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT The Dungeon Master’s Guide provides optional rules for firearms in D&D—including modern and even futuristic weapons.
