Re: Want a d20 XCOM game
I was actually brainstorming something like this a while ago, tossing up between using D20 Modern, Pathfinder Modern, Spycraft 2.0 or FATEcore for it. I think one of the advantages of doing XCOM as a proper RPG is the opportunity to tackle the non-combat side - investigating UFO sightings, controlling information, research, propaganda and so forth.
If there's enough interest, I might give it a shot.
edit: To make sure the people who are interested are all on the same page, what sort of lethality level are people looking for? To capture the spirit of XCOM, it seems to me it might be good to have a potentially high PC death rate, with players then able to bring in replacement PCs for the next mission (perhaps they could play NPCs or aliens in the meantime). On the other hand, I can also understand the sentiment that players may want to keep their characters alive so as to develop story arcs and relationships over time. What do y'all think?
