[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1347972, member: 5171"] I'm currently looking at using the d20 Modern ruleset for a Pulp-type game. It looks like it can handle it, although you'll want to be somewhat flexible to allow more cinematic combat maneuvers. Depending on what level of lethality you're looking for, though, you might want to consider a game that is, well, less lethal. :) Or you might want to consider demanding that every character get "Improved Massive Damage Threshold", or making sure that you send easily swattable goons at them when Lord Lecton unleashes his Electricity Ray at Earth. In d20 Modern, a bunch of Strong1/Fast1 guys are a nice fun fight for mid- to high-level folks. A critical from a pistol (or space trident, or ray gun, in this case) can still kill somebody, so nobody gets that bored "He's making me fight goblins" feeling, but the party can dash around and knock people off balconies and fight off four or five guys apiece, and it feels cool. Otherwise, if you were playing a well-equipped pulp game, where the hero always had his rocket pack and pistol, you could use the Mutants and Masterminds ruleset... Flight (Flaw:Device), Energy Blast (Flaw:Device), and so forth... [/QUOTE]
