Modern Player's Companion, Volume Two


Modern Player's Companion, Volume Two, by Stan! Cover illustration by Clarence Harrison. Cover design by Marc Schmalz

Now Available!

"... [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
(for Print version--PDFs are full-color)
