Aww man, I love D&D/D20 games; and that sound like an especially fun time! I'm about to start a D20 Modern campaign (adapted to fifth edition D&D rules) where my friends and I are trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. We're using our city as the map and we didn't roll for our character stats (which makes the world extremely easy for me to understand as a DM). We all made honest assessments of our own strength, charisma, etc and already set off! Some close calls so far, but we're bunkering down in our house haha.
That sounds pretty damn cool. Great idea, I hope it's fun.
