An Xcom line of miniatures would sell like cupcakes to older geeks. I'd rather see a mini's game really, than an RPG
EDIT: That is not to say that I wouldnt buy "runequest XCOM" in a heartbeat

Just to say I would like an x-com game I am in an on line RPG on ROPOL at the moment using d20 modern. However I feel you could do it better SST RPG with a few modifications basically striping out the good gear for a start and running it as a section based skirmish. The SST Rpg is incidentally the best individual sci-fi skirmish game I have played

there is a superb XCom minis/rpg game available but sadly theres no minis for it as its just a fan made thing (though it rocketh mightily) Minis would be awsome though. But not just UFO, TFTD too! And appocalypse! And interceptors and UFOs, and subs and combat rules for them too!!!!
Hell, make a complete game that lets you play the entire game as a tabletop game, that would just be too awsome for words

Modified Spycraft works pretty well when coupled with some of the D20 modern stuff. I'd rather see a game based off the Brb/Mrq system, it would be a bit more lethal.

Aaaaa, X-com, or UFO over here. My computer apparently is to new now to play any of the x-com games now :roll: . I'd love to see some zombies, spartans, and "widowmakers" in miniature form real soon 8)
I think xcom will be easy, somebody has done stats with pics etc on the web, all i have to do its add my own BF/SSTAD GAME stats to them.
I have ideas also on shooting down ufo`s first, like a crashed ufo, roll 1d6 for each alien onboard, roll over target to kill, the same roll can be used for engines, weapon systems and power units as well.
It gets your mind racing.....
Whos up in helping me.....

that would be a psi-amp now wouldnt it ?
Soulman calling, i put togther stats for all the aliens the other day, and now looking at the laser rifle Vs the plasma rifle to see what the stats should be
As for damage i have ideas of keeping th standed D6 for both, but the laser rifle is a -1 to Armour Save, and the plasma a -1 to kill score, so the laser is better at going though armour and longer range then the standed assault rifle, and the plasma killing you more in one hit, so if i plasma bolt hits a human, then its a 5+ not 6+ for a Kill.
If i move away from BF and more in SSTAG, after you roll to hit, then the plasma is a -1 to wound, and -1 to armour save, so if a grey hits a human xcom soldier with a plasma weapon, he`s wounded on a 3+, instead of 4+, and the armour save of 4+ is now 5+
Standed armour for xcom is 4+, dropping to 3+ for powered armour.
The above rules are based just like BF, but with a ACC score, which is what you need to roll to hit first, then you roll on the standed BF damage/hit table.
The only good news for humans, the greys ACC is 5+, not good shots to start with..!!!
I`m now looking into Fear and terror on the board, and have some good ideas also...
