Are there rules for zombies? Does this book offer proper tools for building a custom, near-future cyberpunk game? The "Modern" part of the title seems to hint at that, but I haven't seen anyone mention it. Yes, I've seen a similar question below, and the answer it got was "nope". The book — especially the pdf hey, we're talking about "modern" stuff here : — may have been updated since then, though. There are rules for extraordinary powers basically magic and psionics which can be used for flashy cybernetic effects.

However, on page you have what they call 'Extraordinary Stunt' which is a talent that allows you to pull stunts for free. This is presented as an emulation for extraordinary stuff characters from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Sense8 and Orphan Black can pull.
I would say it could be used to emulate some piece of cyberware. Nothing like a big list of cyberware, which is a shame because this system could be used for cyberpunk type play it even has magic in there A companion has been announced and Cyberware could should be included there. Don't hold your breath if it is like the releases for Fantasy Age, you would be better off getting something like Fate, Savage Worlds or the Cypher System which all have this built in already - or actually go for Cyberpunk or Shadowrun - Green Ronin don't support their products.
Sorry dude there are already three support products for the game. The Modern AGE Companion is out, and does include rules for extraordinary abilities which can be used for cyberware.
Not knowing the system at all: How lethal is combat in the system, specifically on the gritty setting which I assume is supposed to be the most "realistic" , regarding gun and knife wounds? In Pulpy and Cinematic, characters are tougher, especially as they go up in level. The game does have options for "extras," who can be one-shotted, and Minor NPCs, who aren't quite so tough and have some of their features streamlined.
Neither rules set give enemies levels as such and it is up to the GM to determine the lethality of an encounter DARPG doesn't have a built in gritty mode but a GM could include it with little effort if they like.
There are no level one 'monsters' for a party of level-1 players for example. There are minor threats, moderate threats, and major threats where the GM decides how many baddies to field against the PC's say two minor threats per PC as an level-3 encounter example. Or the GM may assign less 'monsters' but add more HP to them, etc.
See more at 4th level. Had I included a gritty mode, it may have been more even so I'd say it is somewhat trial and error to get a ballance. For the most parts, Stunts add damage while Armour reduces it.
Fudging character creation to give players even a stat as low as 1 can add immense power to a character and that gets more powerful as they progress in levels as they gain stat improvements.
I'd suggest letting the dice lay where they fall even if a few stats are in minus. But basically, the DARPD rules, and from what I take from the MA rules, the GM has the ability to make any encounter lethal as they see fit by playing within the rules with beefed up baddies and the mode in which you play the game.
Hi there, can we expect a printed version of this book to be forthcoming? I used to work for GR and yes, I know for certain that a print version will be coming "soon". They typically release the PDF before sending the book to print so they can get corrections from the fans that the editors missed. The print version is already on pre-order through their website. I don't think they do POD on their stuff. That is for the basic rule book without any extra flash like GM screen or poster-sized maps or I assume, no dice included--just a rule book as advertised.
That's not cheap but I really wanted it so I bit the bullet, others may need to be aware of that. Marco R. I'm a huge fan of AGE games.

Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high.
It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format.
