How much damage does as choosing Armour Piercing vs Hollow Point vs a guy in ballistic armour differ? Simple Modernity has the answer!
This book contains modern classes for you to play including Soldier (well duh), Heavy Gunner, Crook, Specialist, Sniper, Survivalist, Contract Killer, and Medic. This cool range of classes means you can easily throw together a party for almost any modern game, everything from specialists dropping HALO onto a terrorist held sky scraper, through to crooks carrying out a heist.
However I think my favourite idea for these rules is carrying a modern force through time to the distant past or across a rift into a fantasy world. It makes me go squee! Ever since I read about "Rome, Sweet Rome" I've wanted to play as modern troops taking on the might of ancient Rome! Simple Modernity is set up to deliver that game.
There's a great book series by Myke Cole (Shadow Ops) that runs with the scenario of magic reawakening in our world. People world wide are manifesting magical abilities and of course the government cracks down on that. But there's more, rifts between planes can be opened and there is a modern military base in a fantasy-style world under siege from all the goblin tribes. In short Simple Modernity is giving you the tools to play THAT game.
How about dropping a few modern weapons into your gonzo Basic Fantasy game?
