I'm trying to find the system that would work best for the idea I have and to meet the needs of the gaming group. The general idea for the campaign is a roughly modern setting where the characters are engaged in a covert war against psionically enhanced villains.  For the system I want something that can accomodate this - or multiple genres.  I would like something cheap to get into and rules lite, because I don't know if the system will stick with my group and I don't want a big monetary or time obligation on their part. We want enough rules only so things can be tactically interesting with some variety.  In the past we tried GURPS. It didn't work because of the advantages and disadvantages system (example: alcoholic character "roll to see if I'm getting drunk.")  I'm leaning to Basic Roleplaying by Chaosium, but I've heard that Savage Worlds should be up for consideration as well. (Though it seems a little needlessly complex for my tastes as well as incomplete in its Explorer's Edition.) Do you think either system would work well or can you suggest something else? Retreater</blockquote>
