Converted from Phorums BB System

From d20 Modern is the skills, feats, equipment, professions and such, which are about half the book. (Some are tweaked a bit)

New are the 4 character types, the organization rules, some of the monsters, the spells. And how to run a horror game and sample campaigns ideas.

The magic system and psychic rules are just heavily inspired by CoC d20, not directly taken from them.

I don't know the motivation for dropping the Massive Damage rules - that other guy now says it was simply an editing mistake, but I find it hard to believe something that major was dropped.

But no, it's probably not worth $40. You can generally get it for $30 new from most places (I got it for that price twice!), and used for around $20. I would say it's probably worth $20.

All of the OGL books reprint a lot of stuff from the SRD. Only OGL Ancients is mostly original, probably 85% new. OGL Cyberpunk is probably even less original material, maybe 30% - just the chapters on Cyberware, Drugs, and Hacking.
