When I read of this setting idea in the back D20 Modern I thought it would be an interesting thing to look over and maybe play. Now that I have it, I can see my expectations were rather justified as Urban Arcana looks like a kind of amalagamation of dark modern ideas like the X-Files and mixes it with a bit of Harry Potter's world. Freaky in some respects but intriguing none the less. Most of the standard D&D races are availble for play as well some non-standard races. I'm getting some other stuff to play with this and I may just try to do a kind of D20 Shadowrun when all is said and done, the possibilties are endless.

Urban Arcana is a very well developed and presented addition to the D20 Modern world. It does a good job of balancing modern settings with fantasy. The races and the reason for the fantasy elements are very well incorporated into the campaign as well as the reason why you don't notice why the grumpy local banker is actually a dwarf. If you are looking at adding a little fantasy (or a lot) to your modern campaign, or just want to play a dwarf with a semi automatic pistol, Urbana Arcana has everything you need. A great product and a good addition to any D20 Modern group.

Okay, so first off, I have to admit that I haven't used this in actual play, but over all this is a good looking campaign supplement. It delivers on the promise that we got in the tiny section of D20 Modern and then some. It looks like the kind of fun, fast campaign world that atttracted me to D&D oh, so many years ago.
In fact, with all the changes to D&D, and the 3.5 "update", I may just cut to the chase and play D20 Modern in the Urban Arcana world instead!
