Retro-modern?

[fmitchell]

Does anyone have experience with a d20 Modern setting in historical or mythic times, such as OGL Ancients from Mongoose? I just downloaded the PDF, and it looks interesting. (I also bought Grim Tales, but most of it looks like a recap of Modern, with some interesting bits thrown in at the end.)

Still waiting for an answer? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I've often considered a d20 pulp campaign. But before I put it to paper, it always ends up tossed in my head because I don't have the historical knowledge or feel I've the means to convey such a setting. In my latest d20 horror/dark world, I would send the players back in time to the 30's on occasion. But it would never last beyond one or two games and it always involved fixing some time stream something. In those occasions, they would be fighting Nazis or doing something in Boston.

I've thought about running a d20 Modern historical campaign set in Europe during WWI with some major nods toward CoC. Something about the dark days of trench warfare just scares the crap out of me anyway; when you add supernatural aspects to it, it's even worse. Put some zombies in those trenches, make the Black Hand servants of Nyarlathotep, and make those clouds of mustard gas much, much more than just chemicals. It creeps me out just thinking about the possibilities.

Adam,

I really think you're onto something there. It'd be definitely gritty and evil all rolled up into one.

I'd also use worgen during the full moon out in the trenches.
