[QUOTE="Kurziel, post: 1240666, member: 15471"] I recently lost my job, so find myself in an ironic situation. I finally have the time to run a campaign again, and game on a regular basis. However, I have a very limited gaming budget. The campaign I'm planning will have the players starting as a team/crew of freelance criminals similar to Heat or Italian Job. After the characters have established themselves and the players have learned the rules, they will be approached by an organization hiring the players to perform black op missions. From here the campaign will be more like Alias and X-Files (conspiracy portion, not the supernatural part). I'm not currently planning a supernatural aspect to the campaign. I do have a penchant for horror games that don't start as horror, however. So, I would like to make sure I can add magic and magical critters in if the campaign shifts in that direction. If the campaign does go that direction, it will probably be in a Millenium/Twin Peaks fashion. I'm looking for some advice on what d20 products would be best to achieve the ruleset I'm looking for. I currently have the d20 Call of Cthulhu main book, and the d20 Modern SRD. Would Spycraft or d20 Modern be a better starting point? Why? Or, is there another product out that would work? I think the CoC rules should cover any magic/horror aspects I need, but, is there something else worth looking into? Edit: Changes for clarity. [/QUOTE]
