From publisher blurb:
Ultramodern5 is the follow-up of the popular Ultramodern4
The mission of U5 is to present 5th EDITION rules for use in non-fantasy settings. These include pre-modern settings, contemporary settings, and those that are far flung fantastic and futuristic. U5 presents modern and science fiction rules in a game usually reserved for fantasy. There is no established setting in U5.
It presents classes, gear, and scenarios that can be inserted into any campaign, including the following:
Cyberpunk
Espionage
Modern Warfare
Space Opera
Techno Fantasy
Urban Fantasy
Steampunk
Wild West (with or without aliens)
You may explore the rules in whatever context you wish. Rules are generalized, encouraging homebrew settings and the rebranding of elements.
Create a pure science fiction setting, or insert these rules into your own fantasy world to offer a unique spin.
