    My old west theme.

    I've currently got this as my Sidewinder: Recoiled theme, but at some point I got wise to the fact that Sidewinder: Recoiled is about 95% just d20 Modern... I knew it was *based* on D20 Modern, but I didn't realize just how very close (almost identical) they are. I'd like to make this into an installable theme for D20 Modern, but I'm not sure how much work would be required. Perhaps I will bite the bullet (so to speak) if there is interest.

    *appluads*

    Really good work. Love the idea of the bullet indicator on the combat tracker - might "borrow" that concept for the next release of Deadlands: Reloaded, if you don't mind.
    Former SW ruleset / Deadlands extension author. Now I just wanna play a few games. And maybe hack. A little.

    Thank you for the kind words! I have the whole ruleset downloadable somewhere or another - I'll figure out where if you want, then you're welcome to just borrow the graphic file itself. As you can see, it's a very stubby bullet - took a little trial & error to shrink it to fit the allowed space.

    I don't know if you noticed, but my favorite little bit of candy are the white hats/black hats for the combat tracker. Silly & cliche, but they actually work pretty well graphically as well as to theme. I make me laugh.

    [EDIT: Oh yeah, we can share files on this thing. Here, have a free bullet. Hopefully you can just copy it, if nothing else, for size reference.]

    Just one word...AWESOME!!! can you share the ruleset...?
    An amazing job you got here
    Religion is an insult to human dignity.
    With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
    But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion...

    I'm happy to, but it's just D20 Modern for the most part... there are a hand full of different skills. All I did was change the graphics on the D20/D20Jpg ruleset (don't remember which) and add the Wealth, Reputation, and Action Points to the char sheet... but those are standard D20 Modern I believe. The only other thing I added was Bravery, which is good for converting the old Boot Hill modules & really a sorely missing element of Sidewinder, I think.

    I don't think there is any Sidewinder-specific content, so I suppose I wouldn't be violating any IP or copyright laws. It's already up at:

    https://castlecorps.com/Sidewinder Recoiled.zip

    ...is there a proper way to share it? In reality, though, I think it should be made into a Theme for D20 Modern, but my previous brief attempts to kludge together a Theme have been unsuccessful.

    Already building an add-on extension for Deadlands using your bullet, loading icon and you menu hub
    My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically

    Yours are still on combat round 6

    That's a sweet looking rulest you have there doc. I'd love to have something like this for an old game of Boot Hill.

    Whilst its not d20_Modern, you're welcome to take a look at my 4E Theme extension, Metal Pro, for some guidance on re-skinning a ruleset.
    FG Project Development
    Next Project(s)*: Starfinder v1.2 Starship Combat

    Current Project:
    Starfinder v1.1 - Character Starships
    Completed Projects: Starfinder Ruleset v1.0, Starfinder Core Rulebook, Alien Archive, Paizo Pathfinder Official Theme, D&D 5E data updates
    * All fluid by nature and therefore subject to change.

    My friends, you are very welcome! I'm just very glad that folks will get some use out of it other than myself & my son.

    Señior Zeuss: I shall take a look at your Metal Pro for getting this converted to a Theme for both D20 Modern (for use with Sidewinder: Recoiled, a pretty good game IMHO) and Castles & Crusades (I'm in love with Sorcerer's ruleset, which looks to be getting even better in the coming months - and I'm more interested in pursuing the use of the Siege Engine for skills rather than the D20-based skillset).
