[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 4263801, member: 13892"] Gumshoe as it exists in The Esoterrorists (highly skilled individuals in modern setting face conspiracies and/or supernatural terrors, ala Hellboy) and Fear Itself (normal folks in a modern setting face psychotic killers and/or high tension terror) seem like they would work for you. Each game is powered by the same system tweaked to reflect a different power level. If you get both games, you have a good tool-kit set for doing pretty much any kind of modern genre you want (except maybe Harlequin Romance). Trail of Cthulhu (normal folks versus Cthuloid horrors [i]or[/i] pulpy heroes versus Cthulhoid horrors) is a bit more setting specific, though it also presents more rules and specifically addresses some stuff like madness and pulp action genre options (which is pretty much the level of heroism that d20 Modern defaults to). It has two default modes of play, as mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
