d20 Modern or Spycraft?

[Hopping Vampire]

Eh. I have yet to find a game system that has good autofire rules. The ones for Modern & Spycraft work well enough for me.

check out the dragonstar burstfire and coverfire rulings. these make the most sense to me. it makes autofire both lethal AND fun.

But I thought lethal and fun were synonymous.

the designers of these games really know nothing of ballistics though. the autofire rules suck in both cases

I think you're missing the point that both games are going for a rather cinematic feel rather then total accuracy to realistic gunplay.

I'm a big Spycraft player, but then again, I'm biased, being on the Design Team and all.

Actually, I own and play both systems. I like d20 Modern and all, but it IS very "Buffy" while Spycraft is very "Bond." Flavor is the whole thing.

I also use Spycraft for anything action-oriented, not just espionage. For example, I've run the Matrix using Spycraft, as well as a game set in the Metal Gear Solid universe.

I highly reccommend the d20 Modern book as well; incredibly well put together, nice artwork, and a lot of generic options. Still, for the kind of game you're looking at, I'd go Spycraft all the way. Don't worry about a lack of support; the support from AEG is going to continue to come in droves, and there's a pretty large fan base.
