System for corporate game

There's literally a game called Corporation RPG. It might be a little more wetworks than you might like, but you should still check it out.

I should think you'd want your game to model their financial resources more than their individual traits. So when they invest their whole slush fund in arming a terrorist group, they haven't got anything left to bribe that dictator in the neighboring country, at least not until next quarter.

Seems like it would kill the fun to just have players make a "persuasion roll". If they are managing a multinational corporation, could you not simply assume that they are among the most socially adept people in the world?

"the game" would seem to be about managing resources and calculating risk, moreso than modelling exactly how personally magnetic and intelligent a character is.

Reign has a robust system for domain management. Maybe that would inspire you.

OP, since you mentioned GURPS I thought I would mention Social Engineering, SE: Pulling Rank, Boardroom and Curia (b&c in particular) are all designed to help with this kind of thing if you're not familiar with them already. Add mass combat for the proxy wars and etc.

The IQ thing can be handled in a number of ways, in particular by leaning on experience-based rolls that do not allow Talent or etc. and are rather contests based on relative skill level of actual professional experience (I forget where this is covered but I know it is somewhere). Also skill adaptation and etc. particularly with Will. Social Engineering's social techniques and styles also go a long way towards solving this, so each character could have specialized approaches to each skill use; combined with talents and experience based rolls this would IMHO alleviate your issue almost entirely without having to go outside the rules (if you don't want to).

All that said, I don't think there is any system I've heard of which simulates things to the degree at which you're looking for. Most of them like ORE, Fate, etc. could do what you are asking but do so by glossing over details and solving these questions and issues abstractly. If you don't mind this, Fate Accelerated could help you as that rules set expects similarly skilled characters who just approach and tackle things in different ways which is what makes them unique.

Hope this helped some, good luck. Also if you are curious about the rules stuff for GURPS I mentioned vaguely, I would recommend voicing your issues above on the sjgames.com forums. Those guys are super helpful and can point to existing solutions with precision and detail, or help you create new solutions as needed.

Money would be important, of course. But skills would be critical for persuasion, forced negotiations, finding double accounting, market speculations, PR, lawsuits, etc. I'm going for a more cinematic corpwars rather then down-to-life "saving millions on fools, clips and slutty secretaries" approach.

Oh, and thanks for mentioning Reign. I've been going to check it for a long time.

Thank you for your suggestions. I've seen B&C (it's pretty bad, desu, I can see it's use only in quick-and-dirty creation of random npc groups) and SE (it expands core GURPS rules while leaving them to generalistic for my taste and not fixing problems I've outlined before). I'll check SE:PR.

I'll also check Fate, thanks.
