Resident Evil

[Ravensblood]

I've decided to try and put together a Resident Evil Campaign. I had originally seen a little write up somewhere using the D20 CoC rules and figured D20 modern would be more than adequate. I was wondering if anyone had tried this before, or has any ideas which I could use...both rules variants, and story ideas would be appreciated. My original intentions were to start the group off like the original game does, with people running in a forested dark area, away from something and finding sanctuary in a mansion. There would be some lead up to this of course, but that is where the Resident Evil aspect starts. Should they be members of S.T.A.R.S. ? What level should they begin at?

You are really going to want to take a look at this the next time you are at a game store. It has just about everything you want and a d20 modern conversion section as well!

Blood and Brains is a good PDF by RPGObjects that deals with all sorts of zombies for the d20 modern game.

i say
1. D20 relies on a survive-the-hit damage system of the one player games rather than the avoid-being-hit-at-all-costs of various zombie movies and outbreak games. play down across the board infections to keep the game somewhat playable in a multi sesion game. Perhaps requiring a fort save, when half HP is lost, rather than every hit.

Troll stats for the tyrant.
Use "Ape" base stats for the hunter. Add a 20' leap and powerful charge
Replace spider's web ability with a short range acid arrow with additional poison effect.
