Whats a good system to run pic related?

Genius: The Transgression

Isn't that more about playing a mad scientist rather than a detective?

>>48908595
Conspiracy X was pretty much made for this. Research rules, alphabet soup agencies, and LOTS of weird shit. You just need to pare back the aliens, magic etc and insert parallel dimensions and such in their place.

Monster of the Week

In your opinion, which is the better edition?

>>48908793

This. Alternatively, if you like PbtA but want something more restrained in terms of the PCs' powers than MotW, there's another one called Black Stars Rise.

Or GUMSHOE could work. Or GURPS.

>>48908868
Well... it's kind of a toss-up. Unisystem is a better system all round, but the transition lost a LOT of character, and made character gen much less interesting.

In particular I fucking loved the Zener Card based psionics in first ed.

That said, a lot of the stuff that's missing from Second Edition is irrelevant for Fringe. So Second Edition might be better for what you're aiming to do.

What about the GURPS version?

>>48908595
Gumshoe works.

>>48909128
We don't talk about the GURPS version.

>>48908595
Chronicles of Darkness(2e nwod) would work well for it

I need to watch like the last 4 episodes of this show

Which probably means I should start over from the beginning

Personally, I lean toward GUMSHOE or FATE.

>>48909150
I agree with this guy. Pick your variant, or cobble together some stuff from Night's Black Agents, Timewatch and/or Mutant City Blues.

>>48909895
What's wrong with it?

>>48912462
Nothing, except that it uses GURPS, and just reading the word GURPS makes that Anon ill, which is why I've said GURPS three times so far.
You could look at GURPS Warehouse 23 for weird artefacts too. Or Mysteries for well, building up mysteries. Both are pretty system-independent.

>>48908595
I'm running this. I use The Strange. It's worked well and my players, despite initial reservations, have commented quite positively.

Honestly, watching that show over would not help make any more sense of it. Fringe was a warning that Abrams can't write a decent conclusion to a story for shit, but we didn't listen and Lost was the result.

GURPS.
