As the title says, I'm looking for any interesting homebrew or third party content made for d20 modern that's out there. I'm particularly interested in futuristic stuff, but anything sufficiently neat will sate my curiosity.

Ultramodern Firearms from Green Ronin.

RPG Objects's d20 Blood & Fists for modern martial arts.

Game Mechanics's Martial Arts, Modern Magic, and Modern Player's Companion; each has volumes 1 & 2.

The Modern Dispatch series can be entertaining.

There's The Phoenix Project (http://phoenixprojectrpg.com/), which is a superhero add-on to d20 modern you might be interested in.

The table I usually play at has toyed with this before and the simplest way is to just give each item the "skin" of a future/modern item and use the rules for standard items. The basic weapons rules are balanced enough to use with a different aesthetic to it.

A couple examples:
Lightsaber = Longsword of Sharpness
Shotgun = Throwing Axe
Guns = Crossbows

A machine gun may fire 20 rounds per second but only the first few are accurate. The rounds that hit add up to the damage that one heavy bolt would do.

People may argue that "bullets do way more damage" but just remember that, in the strictest sense, a solid hit with nearly ANY D&D weapon would kill a normal person outright. Characters are not normal. They are action heroes.

I mean... If you add up the number of wounds various Arnold Schwarzenegger characters have taken and you could kill a country. Just have fun and change the looks.
