Modern professions?

[jbuckmaster]

Has anyone created some modern professions and/or skill writeups? I'm thinking of running a game with some modern characters thrown into a fantasy world and am curious as to how others handle modern characters.

Why not add it to the Wiki or send it to me so I may add it for you.

I've also been working on a list. I've posted some of my ideas here before. My plan was always to get it added to the wiki eventually.

I also need a good writeup of how my Skill Specialization system works. (It is pretty much as suggested by Atxgxt.)

The modern skills I added include: Computer Programming (INT), Computer Usage (INT), Counseling (INT + CHA), CPR (INT + POW), Darkroom Techniques (INT), Mathematics (INT), Photography (INT), Ride Vehicle (DEX + POW), Scuba Diving (INT + POW), Skydiving (INT + POW), Surgery (INT + DEX + POW).

A lot of modern skills were defined as specializations, such as Drive Automobile.

Also important is the Write Your Own Skill, which allows players to add a skill that is not on the list but which is needed for his character concept.

At one point I was working on a Post-Apocalyptic setting using a modern variant of the RQ skills. Some of these are a great departure from the core rules (and my group has incorporated some of these ideas into our fantasy game)

Feel free to visit my google group and see if anything helps you for your personal game. . .

Ok I posted Mage's rules on the Wiki. Now it can be edited and cleaned up.

Wow, I like these, you really should put these on the wiki, or even publish this after more work.

Thank you. . I was developing them for publication, and that is still a possibility at some point.

We're currently working on a setting using the RQ rules and playing around with the Traveller Playtest

I did up a bunch of military profession templates a year ago. If they would be of interest, I could go dig up my old notes.
