WARNING TO BUYERS: SEE PREVIEW FIRST!

THE MAGIC SYSTEM IS A ONE-FOR-ONE RIPOFF OF SHADOWRUN, AND THE CLASSES ARE JUST SHADOWRUN CLASSES PORTED TO A GAME THAT IS SEMI-PATHFINDER OGL. IF THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, TURN AWAY NOW!

Thank you for your input. Shadowrun was, in part, an inspiration for the game as well as the magic system itself - especially the idea of Shamans and how they interact with the spirits and gain magical abilities. Shadowrun is not, however, the only game to include this idea in spellcasting. It was brought into the Modern RPG because the world in which the Modern RPG Universe takes place is intended to be animistic in nature and, frankly, I love the idea of spirits merging with spellcasters. Pathfinder, D&D and Shadowrun did it really well. As for porting Shadowrun classes, I do not believe that Shadowrun even has classes. Their system is much more fluid while the Modern RPG (Pathfinder OGL) system is a bit more rigid, offering set classes whereas Shadowrun has a point buy system with no real classes to speak of.

The magic system itself, however, is modeled much more on the Pathfinder magic system with the exception that spell slots have been exchanged for a mana system.

Hope this...See more

This game is somewhat Pathfinder compatible with a few minor tweaks.

You would have to "revert" the mana system to a spell per day system, for example.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
