What system would you use to run a game in this? Is there anyway to adapt DnD to have modern military equipment or do you just bite the bullet and use GURPS?
>>
Couldn't you just use D20 Modern with 3.pathfinder?

GURPS' good.
Wouldn't run that crap, though.
Mysterious portal to fantasy land opens, sure, but Gate's plot, fuck no.
>>
>>44590717

Yeh I wouldn't run it as GATE, i would pitch a 'modern rpg' where they're a team sent to investigate the GATE. Then boom, generic fantasy land.

I just like the fact that it's a legit military in GATE.

The palladium system run well together, so get heroes unlimited and the the palladium fantasy books, or go RIFTS and just throw MEGA DAMAGE everywhere.

Savage Worlds for sure.

>>44590641

This only if your willing to deal with palladium
>>
Savage Worlds? Everything you'd need would be in the core book, it depends how much extra shit you want.
>>
>>44591200
Guns are also OP as shit in it compared to melee weapons, so that could work.
>>
GURPS.
This is exactly the kind of thing that GURPS is good at.
This kind of weird shit where there isn't really a good game specifically made for it, so you grab GURPS and build your own.
>>
>>44591324
Yeh a Savage World helicopter vs someone in Savage World steel plate is a fucking massacre.
>>
>>44591200
So would Savage Worlds run a good Stargate style campaign? PCs are a group working for an organization with a portal, get sent through portal to check out the worlds behind them, episode style?
>>
>>44591592
It's more like it's very, very hard to miss with ranged weapons in SW. And guns also do really good damage on top of that.

>>44591767
Sure. Savage Worlds is a simple and plays fast.

Gary Gygax had some fun with it back in the day:

GURPS

>>44590641

D&D has suppliments that give stats to modern weapons: while small arms are somewhat underwhelming, .50 cals and higher do crazy high damage while anything larger than a 6 pounder can deal multiple hundreds of HP per turn.

3.5 and 5e had stats for real weapons in the DMG.

It's bare bones as hell but it's there.
>>
>>44590717
It's not really good, no, but holy shit that scene where the FOB wipes out the attacking armies was amazing.

I have fond memories of this as a kid, all linked to one video that we rented regularly from the local store.
Nearly impossible to dig anything up on it now, though.
