[QUOTE="swrushing, post: 1238071, member: 14140"] To give you an idea for my basis... i own D20 modern and their arcana book and ti own the spycraft engined Stargate RPG but no other spycraft except the Archer sourcebook. Some of what i understand of spycraft i get from their BBS. It really depends on what type of modernish game you want. IMO... If you want X-files, buffy, or alias then D20 modern is probably a better choice. If you want Clancey (any of them) you probably want spycraft. The level of gun bunny precision and detail is very high innthis system and gear and equipment plays a major role. their iteration of stargate feels a whole lot like "what if clancey wrote stargate sg-1?" to me. Now, you might also look at using both. Spycraft has one of, no make that, the best implementation and clean up of the basic d20 mechanics i have seen. Its fluid init system is above and beyond. Using it as the core mechanic for d20 modern classes would be fine, although the class design in stargate is wonderful. You could do a lot worse than taking the spycraft engine and adding the MDS from d20 modern. [/QUOTE]
