In February, get this PDF as part of a bundle and save!
"... [A] remarkable approach to rules design that almost perfectly matches that taken in official d20 Modern products.... [O]nly the book's black and white art and trade dress differentiate it from a full-blown Wizards release."
-Dungeon/Polyhedron, January 2004

Note: With the announcement of the print version of Modern Player's Companion, we've decided to start calling this PDF "Modern Player's Companion, Volume I."
When Wizards of the Coast released the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game, a whole new world opened up for fans of the d20 System—our world! Suddenly it was possible to use the world's most popular roleplaying game to create high-tech espionage, 21st century crime drama, and alternate history adventures (just to name a few). But the modern world is a big place, so big that no book, no matter how well conceived and crafted, can cover it all.
The Modern Player's Companion, Volume One is a supplement for anyone who enjoys d20 System roleplaying in a modern setting. It focuses on providing supplemental material to enhance the choices available to players during character creation. Inside you'll find more starting occupations to help give your characters exactly the type of background you always envisioned. You'll also find new advanced classes and feats for use in just about any modern roleplaying setting. And you'll find both new equipment and a series of "equipment packages"—pre-selected groups of equipment suited for various archetypal characters and bundled for several starting Wealth scores—designed to increase the speed and ease of character creation when your GM is not around.

The Modern Player's Companion, Volume One also discussions on why parts of the game function the way they do, written by a member of the original d20 Modern Roleplaying Game design team. What abilities are appropriate for a starting occupation? How can you use the base classes to model real world careers and character types? What is the difference between a collection of base class levels and an advanced class?
