Hi,
I'm currently running my second 3.0/3.5 campaign and I'm starting to get a little tired of fantasy. I haven't looked into any other d20 games/systems, so I thought that this would be the place to go to find out what's available.
A little bit more about what I'd like to run:
I'm looking for something that would allow my players to roll up government agents-mostly using current day technology as far as weapons/equipment, with the ability to introduce some items with more of a science fiction flair.
The PCs would be Fox Mulder/Dana Scully types, only with more official government standing. Basically, our government is aware of paranormal/alien type phenomena and works both to gain a better understanding of it and to keep it out of the nations headlines.
So my players might be assigned to head out to the woods one week to explore Bigfoot sightings, and off to Area 51 to deal with some civilian intruders the next.
Here's the real questions: What does d20 have to offer along these lines? Are there monster books out there for "real-life" monster/mysteries? What book do I want if I need stats for a .357 or a bulletproof vest? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Christoph
