Modern

Thinking of makeing a data set for the modern seeting using the MSRD. Not sure how it will convert over, (like the wealth roll). Any ideas before I start?

Is this going to be using the Pathfinder dataset or the d20 dataset?
Pathfinder data set will require much more work than the generic d20 set - however, I'm not overly familiar with either, as I do the best I can with my limited knowledge.
If it's a d20MP aspect, I'm all supportive (esp. since Super Genius didn't get the P20 project off the ground). Might also want to take a look at GM Salari's e20 - System Evolved d20/M aspect that is on-going. Not sure if they'd help in making the dataset easier or harder with the PF dataset, but if you're going to be doing it, it might be worthwhile to at least check out.
Be Well. Be Well Evolved.

Yea, a Pathfinder dataset, "d20MP", so it would me a bit more work, (what to change, add, drop, etc), but I thought I would give it a try. IDK

Well started withe easy, (lang) and now working on skills. What do you think should go in and what is out?
BTW - Any idea on how to do the Wealth check in Hero Lab? IDK might just have to make everything in gold.

Frodie,

I've got a d20 Modern set I've been working on based on the 3.5 dataset. I'm about 45% through it (although I've been using the D20 book and not the MSRD)

What would the benefits be of using Pathfinder as a basis rather than d20?

Frodie · July 9th, 2010, 09:06 AM

To be honest, IDK, lol
Pathfinder is kind of like 3.75. My group has been playing it for awhile now and everyone likes the system. So fitting D20 Modern in D20 and/or Pathfinder would work fine, and have the same issues, (like the wealth roll, lol)

Looking at the same thread on the d20 board, it looks like you have done a lot! I'm just started, so IDK. I’ll look on the Pathfinder boards to see if there is a good conversion. If there is, see if it is worth making a dataset for the Pathfinder. Anyways, let me know if you need any help with data input, I know there is a lot to do. I’ll have a bit of free time next week.

I'll be cleaning what I've got up over the weekend, but one thing I haven't done is any descriptions or summaries as I've been working on getting stuff running.

If you wanted to throw some summaries/descriptions of the various things from classes to languages together where I could cut and paste to the files, that would be a big help.

Shoot me a PM and I'll let you know what I've got near complete that could use some text/ideas on.

Thanks!
TC

That will be cool. I can start Monday if that is ok.

Frodie · July 12th, 2010, 01:23 PM

Ok, I have some time this week. Just send the file and what you want me to do.
Cool!
