d20 Modern is a game utilizing the UsefulNotes/D20System, launched in 2002.

* SniperPistol: In d20 Future, you can get one of those with the Gadget System. By applying the Compact Gadget followed by the Miniaturized gadget, you can reduce a sniper rifle to pistol size. Such a weapon uses expensive custom made miniaturized ammo though.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: The adventure ''No Man's Land'' takes place within a World War I museum exhibit with personal firearms, heavy machine guns and a [[TankGoodness World War I tank]] with its cannon, all active and [[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece ready to be used]] by both the players and [[NightOfTheLivingGoons the deceased infantrymen the villain deploys as goons]]. The adventure makes note that weapons in museum exhibits are deactivated as a matter of safety, but the Games Master can either [[{{Handwave}} go]] "this is action-movie land, the hell with it" or use the fact the villain of the adventure is a necromancer [[AWizardDidIt as an explanation]].

This sourcebook contained rules for playing games set in the world to be, from TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture to the time of CrystalSpiresAndTogas and everything in between (though it could be adapted to sci-fi campaigns set in the past or present just as easily), with chapters on futuristic gizmos, alien environments, [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic engineering]], super-science like [[CloningBlues cloning]] and NanoMachines, TeleportersAndTransporters, {{Cool Starship}}s, HumongousMecha, [[RobotRollCall robotics]], [[HollywoodCyborg cybernetics]], and {{Mutants}}. It even has rules for sentient alien species for use as {{Player Character}}s, most of them culled from Creator/{{TSR}}'s older sci-fi games.

* CloningBlues: ''Genetech'' and ''Bughunters'' both deal with clone soldiers being considered expendable by whoever created them. Furthermore, in ''Bughunters'' the clones' original-template-person got paid to volunteer some DNA.

* WackyRacing: The ''Thunderball Rally'' mini-setting revolved around one of these situations (also supplied the early prototype to the game's chase rules). An illegal underground race, the writers admitted they were basing it off ''Film/TheCannonballRun''.

* CyberPunk: In ''[=d20=] Cyberscape'', all of the provided campaign models are this, including a pseudo ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' and a more regular

* '''TabletopGame/DarkMatter''': An update of the ''Dark•Matter'' campaign setting first published in 1999 for Creator/{{TSR}}'s ''TabletopGame/{{Alternity}}'' RPG (itself an adaptation of 2nd edition ''D&D'' rules to non-fantasy settings), this is a world where [[ConspiracyKitchenSink every]] lunatic [[ConspiracyTheorist conspiracy theory]] is true. There really are psychic gray aliens abducting humans and mutilating cattle. TheIlluminati really are working to bring the entire world under their control. Bigfoot? He's out there too. And TheGovernment is covering it all up. The players are field agents for the shadowy private organization known as the Hoffman Institute, devoted to investigating the activities of psychics, cultists, and "xenoforms" and protecting humankind from the tide of dark matter seeping into the fabric of the universe that's the ultimate cause of all things paranormal.
