System for GI Joe

[Captain Tagon]

Some friends and I are thinking of doing a GI Joe-esque game. However, I can't decide if I'd rather do it using Mutants and Masterminds Second Edition or Spycraft 2.0.

Anyone out there have any ideas which would fit the genre better?

Personally, I think Spycraft would be a good fit. I haven't done anything with M&M, so it's not like I have anything to compare it with, but Spycraft really does seem like it could handle G.I. Joe really easily.

I'm still mourning the lack of a Company sourcebook for SFA.

I'll second the rules for Spycraft. The feats, equipment and overall character flavour can really do well for a G.I. Joe-style campaign. Though Spycraft is designed with, well, spy campaigns in mind, it does well to recreate the cinematic action you'd see the Joes pull off.

As I just sold my d20 Modern stuff, that isn't really an option. Everyone seems to be leaning towards Spycraft 2.0 though, which means I need to actually finish reading that book now.

I also just finished writing a super-agents book for d20M.

But if you dont wish to play d20M, Spycraft is a tight design.

Well its not out for a bit, just finished the first draft, it will be a small (20 pages or so) PDF for d20M called Blood and Secrets, designed to mesh with my other books (Blood and Guts and Blood and Vigilance mostly).
