Need help picking the right system, please.

How powerful do you want your magic? Are you looking for present-day tech or futuristic?

Is the only one, outside of Cyberpunk, that I can think of where it is designed from the ground up to be magic and technology. Especially if you want it set in an approximation of the modern day.

Pretty much every superhero RPG would be set up to have magic and technology. The superhero comic books cover such a wide genre that they have to be able to simulate everything from magic, high tech, wild west and mutant monstrosities.

Probably your best bets are the games that more toolkits than ready to go rpgs. As other posters above mentioned--Savage Worlds, GURPS, and Herosystem are excellent toolkits to mesh your desired blend of tech and magic.

Now if you want a ready-to-go rpg, Shadowrun pops into mind, but I've never played it so I cannot tell you of the experience for it.

GURPS, Hero, Shadowrun, True 20, to name a few...

Mindreaders!

I'll just add Mutants & Masterminds to that list, but close by saying that HERO is #1 in my book for flexibility & balance in a Multi-genre campaign setting. (OK, it's my favorite RPG system of all time...)

... HERO, ... the old Champions... could be easily adapted to accommodate a magic and technology game.

HERO system is the old Champions.

I would say either GURPS or Shadowrun. Gurps is a tighter system, but more complex than I like. On the other hand, it is more adaptable to the particular type of tech you want. Tech can be interpreted a whole lot of different ways, and at a whole lot of tech "levels," so you have to keep in mind what you want from that.

I would imagine, like others have mentioned, that a superhero game of any kind would work well, but they aren't my bag, so I can't really make a suggestion comparing any of them to the two I mentioned.
