INTRODUCTION

You hold in your hands a massive collection of creatures, characters, and organiza-

tions for the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game . If it goes bump in the night, cor-

ners you in a dark alley, or plots to take over the world, chances are it’s described

in this book. Gamemasters (GMs) can use the creatures, characters, and organiza-

tions described herein to develop interesting challenges, or even just entertaining

interludes, for d20 M ODERN heroes.

Chapter One: This chapter details nonhuman creatures, including ordinary ani-

mals, aliens, magical and mechanical constructs, and things from beyond. This sec-

tion includes the strange organisms that human beings sometimes encounter on the

fringes of civilization. Animals that have not been scientifically proven to exist (cryp-

tids, or “hidden animals”) lurk in places where few humans care or dare to tread. As

civilization sprawls across the Earth, however, sightings of and even face-to-face

encounters with such creatures become increasingly common.

Alien encounters, too, seem to occur primarily on the edges of civilization, though

as otherworldly visitors grow increasingly bold, they occasionally venture even into

urban surroundings. Aliens are defined as beings not native to Earth, but some of

them are not native to any world in our universe either. Such “extradimensionals”

might be intelligent creatures from other planes of existence, and their past explo-

rations of our world might have been taken for visitations of godlike beings. Encoun-

ters with extradimensionals are the most harrowing of all, for such creatures

frequently do not adhere to the laws of physics, and they can often impose the

effects of their own realities upon heroes unfortunate enough to meet them.

Chapter Two: This section covers character archetypes. From the police and fire-

fighters who keep citizens safe to the contract killers and burglars who don’t much care

if others feel safe or not, these ordinary and extraordinary people can come into con-

tact with the heroes at any time during adventures. This section provides the GM with

pregenerated statistics for just about any single person the heroes might encounter.
