Modern Organizations

A modern d20 System sourcebook by Stan!

Do You Know The Secret Password?

The modern world is filled with groups--social clubs, unions, political parties, professional organizations, and even secret cabals. Name any topic, occupation, or creed has and it is sure to have its own organization, perhaps several.

Modern Organizations will detail dozens of organizations that heroes are likely to encounter in just about any modern campaign setting. In the series you'll learn details about everything from the mysterious assassins of the House of Dusk to the internationally renowned think tank the Claudine Lyonns Group. You'll meet personalities like entrepreneur and developer Campbell Daniels and Reverend Veronica Hearthstone, head of Hearthstone Ministries.

Each entry in the Modern Organizations series also features rules materials that are thematically linked to the organization, including:

  • New Feats--such as firearms feats and faith feats.
  • New Advanced Classes--such as the Unseen Hand assassin.
  • Variant Rules--such as Dynamic Action Points and Active Reputation Checks.
  • New Equipment--such as military surplus and anti-magic devices.
  • Adventure hooks and GM characters ready for use in any modern game.

Modern Organizations is a series of four innovative modern d20 System sourcebooks from The Game Mechanics. After being released in PDF format, the material will be updated to incorporate player feedback and then released in a single printed volume.

Our release dates are estimates: The Game Mechanics is small company, we're trying to stay flexible, and we'd rather have a really good product than an on-time product if we have to choose between those two options. Watch this page for updates to release estimates.
