What's the plan?

A d20 Modern/Future campaign setting of my design.  I have put some barebones information on this site so the game works on a functional level, but I would like to add more flavor as our play-testing fleshes out this universe.

Things that I would like to add, and perhaps you can give me feedback for...

1. New Feats

2. New Basic Classes (instead of the generic ones now, these may change in the future)

3. New skills in addition to the ones presented here.

4. Artwork - working with Stable Diffusion to produce the best Modern Fantasy Art possible

5. Expanded Alternate History of Earth - working on that currently. 

6. Advanced Prestige Classes - need to add the level graphs 

7. New Elements: Education System (Free Feats that are education related, and based on the characters background)

8. A new Name for the Campaign Setting - DONE! 

9. Equipment Guide: Online (and eventually a printable PDF)

10.  Open a BETA test for anyone to try the system out.
