This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Out of the games that I have on the shelf, probably 1st Edition Conspiracy X. I originally bought it to run an X-Files game, but never got around to running it.

Jason D

Call of Cthulhu, with the Delta Green sourcebooks for modern weaponry and the glimpses into government agencies.

Danger

Wushu!

Or Burning Empires!


Kidding;  second Coc with Delta Green goodness thrown in.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

HERO System, agent level characters (150 pts.), no "superpowers".
THE DELVERS DUNGEON


Mcbobbo sums it up nicely.

One of the following:
CORPS 150ap/100sp level PCs
GURPS 3: 100pt PCs
EABA
Hero: 100pt PC's max 50points disads.

Koltar

GURPS: Illuminati run with GURPS 4/e mechanics with bits of mood from Cabal and Conspiracy X thrown in .

I generally turn to Fudge whenever I want to homebrew a game. I'm not saying it's the ultimate system but I very comfortable with it and it really is made for this kind of customisation.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

CoC or CoC D20 would probably not be bad choices, true enough.
