Best system for a Hellboy/B.P.R.D. game:

Atomic Robo Fate RPG or the Hellboy GURPS RPG?
>>
Bump for I too am interested

If you're doing a more human sided campaign then Esoterrorists might be up your alley
>>
>>51711723

Isn't Esoterrorists full investigative? Does it even have a combat system?
>>
GURPS and FATE are VERY different games for very different kinds of people. Figure out which one of the basic systems you like more.

Take a quick look at fate accelerated:

Then a quick look at GURPS Lite:

GURPS Lite is not representative of the GURPS experience.
>>
>>51711962
In what ways is it not?
>>
>>51711948

OP here, I'm aware they're very different systems, I'm trying to figure out which of the two games fit the tone and style of the Hellboy comics better, hopefully with some insight from people who've played either.
>>
>>51711948
With FATE you'll also likley be able to take a lot of Ready Made urban/modern fantasy stuff from the Dresden Files RPG.
>>
>>51711992

It strips out practically everything in favor of just the basic dice mechanic. Like if you made a simple Risus-like dice pool game and called it "Shadowrun Lite."

Delta Green

Atomic Robo

>>51711658
FATE
GURPS
Savage Worlds
Mutants and Masterminds
Monster of the Week
nWoD


All acceptable choices.

Kind of related, but I have this limited edition Hellboy GURPS sourcebook. Would it be worth anything? It's in my shed somewhere from when I moved.

There's an Atomic Robo RPG?
>>
>>51711658
GUMSHOE would work if you want to focus on investigation
>>
>>51718859
Gurps or Savage Worlds would be great for B.P.R.D. for how lethal their job is.
>>
>>51719083

Well, the official Hellboy RPG is already a GURPS hack, so might as well go with that.
>>
>>51711801
It has a very barebones combat system
>>
>>51719006
Yeah, it's bretty gud (in general and for Hellboy too). Was one of the first Fate spinoffs to use "modes" IIRC.
>>
>>51712240
You're thinking of GURPS Ultra Lite, not Lite.
