If you're going to extrapolate (sp?) Orion's future history (so to speak), I think you'll find after The Web desolved into their own mess Orion would have gone the same way (but not as messy). After all, their prime reason for being was fighting The Web. As for doing a d20 Modern version...

I'm not Psion, but you'll need the Shadowforce Archer Worldbook first and foremost.

GURPS Black Ops is a good buy for X-Files type games. GURPS Alternate Earths is good as well for "what if?" type games.

An excellent (and even better, FREE!) sci-fi RPG is ICAR. It can be downloaded from www.icar.co.uk (and, no, I am not linked with the writer in any way - I just think it's an excellent, non-d20 sci-fi RPG).

I've been a Bond fan for years and have never heard this theory outside of this forum...

Fair enough, I'll look forward to seeing whatever you put out :D

Talien, have you ever thought about doing a supplement for another John Carpenter classic? By that I mean, They Live? Perferably useable with Spycraft as well (because I run that system more than d20 Modern).

None that I'm aware of (and I know of a lot of Spycraft material... ;) ), and you're not likely to see one either (mainly because Spycraft uses v/wp which isn't OGL).

Perhaps if you care to read some of the above replies you'd get a better understanding of why people find your comments akin to trolling. You start name-calling and then, when others take offence, you claim innocence and cry "victim"! We have a little saying over here... if you can't take it...

I take offence at that statement and expect an apology forthwith. If you want to discuss the various merits of the two systems that's fine with me, but don't go making remarks about people you don't know.

Spycraft. It even had optional rules for running a "Clancy-esk" campaign. On the vehicle front, get hold of the Solder/Wheelman Class Guide. Covers all your needs.

I got the core rules and Ultramodern Firearms, but have never run it (got them both around Christmas last year). I don't really like it in comparison with Spycraft. Still, it's doing better than other games I don't like... it's still on my gaming shelf ;)

Thanks for the plug Lugh ;) The direct link to the Ultraviolet campaign PDF is http://www.modus-operandi.co.uk/download/download.asp?ID=53 (it's a 389Kb download).

The core rulebook gives loads of tips on running different types of espionage campaign. As for gadgets, there's a whole chapter dedicated to them :D For a pulp game, I'd buy the following books: Spycraft Espionage Handbook (aka SEH) (obviously ;) ) Shadowforce Archer (aka SFA) Worldbook...

I'd recommend the EM4 miniatures. I've got 2 each of their "secret agents" (which came unpainted) and their SWAT Team (which came painted). £20 well spent in my opinion

Sorry to burst your bubble but Spooks (or MI5 as it's been renamed for the foreign market) doesn't have a political agenda. OK, so that "baddies" in the first episode are America, big deal. To be honest, I didn't pay their nationality much notice. Give it another go, you'll enjoy it.

I used to love the actual firing, but cleaning the rifle afterwards is a right pain ;)

A similar thread took place on the official forum about a month ago. My answer then was: The original thread can be found at: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2926&highlight=planet+designations
