D-20 RPGs & Campaign Settings Index
RPGs including the d20 system and those using the main basic or "core system" book(s) for D&D 3rd & "3.5" edition
The full listing of D&D 3rd & 3.5th edition material is maintained on its own
D&D page, q.v.
The RPGs listed here generally require use of the D&D 3.5 Players' Handbook & some, the Dungeon Masters Guide; and perhaps also some of the "Core DM's Accessories" (see page just referred to)

Once again, your characters finds themselves lying in the malodorous depths of an Eternal Pit of Doom (and, even worse, your dm's brother's month-old dirty socks), waiting for the owner-Turbonium Dragon to feel the munchies and return to snack upon you - in such dire circumstances, can you really trust your dm to play fair and dissuade Draco from selecting your finer ribs for toothpicks after s/he's fed?
No!
But Now you can whip out your "Oh, the Humanity!" card to keep Draco saving against your paltry Cause Fear spell, and proceed to take advantage of the craven, precipitate flight - and your "Huzzah!" card - to leap out of the pit with several mighty bounds!
56 full-colour cards graced by the cast of John Kovalic's Dork Tower that permit you to modify the d20 system rules to allow your characters to perform well-nigh impossible deeds of derring-do (and don't), and generally keep your dm where you want him. Or her.

Castles & Crusades D20 RPG
no-one's ever asked me for this d20 edition of the fantasy rpg, nor for any sourcebook nor adventure for it; but yes, it is available - i'll ask my suppliers for details, on request - sourcebooks include:
- Yggsburgh: Moat Gate - NEW SOURCEBOOK available 23rd April 2008 was ukL 5.99
the main entrance to the free town of Yggsburgh is in this district, which accordingly sees a daily hubbub of incoming and outgoing traffic, noble and commoner, and animal & vegetable, as well as human; and with them come foreigners, thieves, other members of the unwashed underclasses, and spies - and adventurers
City of Brass - CAMPAIGN SETTING BOX
New in 15th August 2007 (was ukL 36.99; out of stock)
"across a shattered plain of volcanic rock with swirling hot winds lies a lake of fire - and hovering above it is your destination, the magical fortress soaring above a sea of flame, a bazaar at the crossroads of the universe, a place of wonder, a fable, an enigma, and rumoured to hold many the secrets of many, arcane artefacts of power, relics both fantastic and foul, where one's greatest dreams and darkest nightmares may be found, for a price: The City of Brass"
"encircled by flames and wrapped in smoke, its shining towers rise up out from the great brass bowl upon which the City is built, accessible only via its massive bridge of polished obsidian; and within its gates lies the greatest repository of arcane knowledge and artefacts of power in all the Planes of Existence." ["~", but phraseology somewhat improved - pp.]
with many maps of both the Planar Nexus and of the City itself, multitudinous artefacts and innumerable foes of great might, and marvellous cunning, even exploring the City in the footsteps of the Prophet is not without its dangers; but should you seek to rob the hitherto impregnable Bank of the Khizanah, or choose to challenge the great Champion, the Titan Hezoid, for possession of his Maul - or possess the temerity to think to outwit the Great Vizier, and overthrow the very Sultan of Efreet himself, and claim the Throne of Brass...
well, you are more like to fail, resoundingly - and to die in exquisitely excruciating pain: but even then, you will add to the Tales of the City of Brass, The One Thousand and One Efreeti Nights. And That in Itself will be More Fame than is Achieved, or Even Looked For, by Most; And a Kind of Immortality.
"Third Edition Rules, First Edition Feel"; written by casey christofferson, scott greene and clark peterson
"Explore the City of the Dead Sultana"

lost high in the Ul Dominor mountains, the tumbled ruins of a Dwarven citadel lie at the base of a volcano's smouldering caldera, knowledge of its precise location lost or mislaid; and explorers, treasure-seekers and adventurers have set out, but never returned - seemingly they, too, have been lost in the mists of the millennia.

- Mechanical Dream d20 RPG
One of the most refreshingly strangest rpgs to come along in years; set in a mechanical, technological alternate universe/
set in an alternate dream, but nonetheless real, universe,
the two of which are completely separate from one another/
the two of which are intimately linked with one another...
the world, Kainas, is a circle of light nearly 30,000 miles in diameter, which is but a small part of the planet, Naakinis; surrounding Kainis is the Sofe, an iontangible black wall over 40 miles high, beyond which (it is presumed) there are other worlds of light, which may or may not be circular, and which may (or may not) have their own sentient inhabitants. Light on Kainas is provided by the Pendulum, which slowly oscillates to and fro as though it were attached to the centre of Naakinis; and this light provides Kainis' stability and reality, which fade and then vanish, as the Pendulum disappears (?) behind the Sofe - which is simply a region that is too dense for the Pendulum's light to penetrate/provide reality to. Possibly. When this occurs, Kainis is overtaken by the Dream.
In the Dream, whilst the Dream is real, it is superimposed upon the mechanical world, but does not replace it - though the effects of actions taken within it can impinge upon it...
Candidate for "Weird Fun of the Year Award", Mechanical Dream is, if anything, a more than complete rpg...

What role-playing's really all about - meeting mystical marauding monsters, macassaring them, anit-macassaring them, measuring them, recording them, analysing them, cataloguing them, carving the prize joints off them - and rifling their pockets (if any).
Herein are included such dire and dreadful dementations as the ferocious Potted Plant, the unanticipated Gazebo, the shy and secretive Plutonium Dragon.. ..statted up in all their hideous power, ready to take on the Munchkin d20 adventurer party

"What can a Munchkin d20 GM do? Whatever he wants. Player annoys you? Kill him. Or change his sex. Or turn him into a Canada Goose. Go all the way and turn him into a dead sex-changed Canada goose. No-one can stop you.

255pp (+ licences p.) volume covering the entire city of the dark elves in its vast cavern complex, "a skeleton of stone wrapped in tortured flesh and clad in robes of woven silk."
Populated by one of the most viciously violent and depraved races in fantasy, Sheoloth has been expanded slowly, over the ages, as one by one caverns have been opened up and enlarged, or painstakingly chipped out of the native marbles and basalt, with pillars left intricately carved in decoration, or smoothed to a fine polished finish, the better to show off the beauty lying within the natural stone - at a price paid in blood.
Werelights, flickering corpselights, wander the streets, especially in the less well-travelled streets, where poverty-stricken foreigners cluster together - for warmth, or mutual protection?
A place of great, if sometimes strange, beauty; of great cruelties, both straightforward and subtle; of harsh discipline, and simultaneous chaotic violence; Sheoloth is a home created by the drow for themselves, very much in their own image.
Adaptable to any existing campaign, usable as the centrepiece of, or the - sometimes safe - haven whence may commence many an adventure, whether pitting players' characters against the evil rulers of the Underdeep, or hiring them in furtherance of their plans for conquest and destruction, or involving them in the feuding and politicking between the rival drow elf noble clans.

OGL Militaristic future RPG based on the eponymous a] original novel by Robert A. Heinlein, and b] Verhoeven's (sp?) film based very loosely upon this.
Takes space marine cadets through basic & advanced training, and out into combat against assorted armed enemy ailen species. great on atmospheric detail of the space marines, weaponry, armour, and required background; pretty well ignores civilian society, culture, arts, or any reason for fighting on assorted alien planets, let alone alien cultures & motivations. but if an rpg of space marines, life aboard dropships, the adrenaline spikes before going into action, & the mostly high-tech, but occasionally hand-to-hand combat are what you're looking for in your adventures, this is definitely up there.
To add anything from a touch more of the gritty realism & often blackly humorous side of (spaceborn) military life, to the downright farcical incompetence to which the strictly hierarchically-organised seem peculiarly prone to, i'd strongly recommend also reading Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, and Harry Harrison's Bill, the Galactic Hero (but none of the dire, and much later-written, collaborative sequels to this latter - be warned - ppint.).

- Death in Freeport ukL 4.99
for characters levels 1-3, includes history & campaign map of the city of Freeport, four pre-generated characters, the adventure itself and everything needed to start play immediately (just about - i'd recommend the gm read it through first!), plus "hooks" for continuing adventuring after (further published adventures also follow). - Hostile Climes: Depths of Despair ukL 12.99

i still carry much Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition RPG system material, including many adventures, that are convertable for use with the new d20 system.
Hasbro-Bradley, Wizards of the Coast's owners no longer supply these, nor u.k. wholesalers, so my stock of them will - inevitably - only shrink.
