I'm looking for a (preferably) rules-light system that would allow me to flavor it as a Metal Gear Solid tabletop.
The players would all be footsoldiers or agents of one of the various MGS Organizations (FOX, MSF, Diamond Dogs, FOXHOUND, Philanthropy) which would determine alliance/mission objectives/technology available, and being able to assign bonuses based on the organization would be cool.
Anybody know of a system that would help out here? Doesn't matter if it's anything official or not.
Additionally, some mission objectives would be a welcome method of bumping the thread if you feel like flexing your creativity.

Additionally, a friend referred me to a system called PDQ (Prose-Descriptive Quality) for this idea, but it seemed like it was *too* non-specific when it came to things a character could/couldn't do. The last thing I'm looking for is
>nuthin personnel

/tg/ did one a while back, but I got no clue if it's any good. Do you want me to dig it up?

Savage Worlds?
It's stealth system is somewhat obviously inspired by videogames, having states of passive and alert searching.

That would be great, if it's not too much work.

I'll see if I can find it.

No problemo, just gimme a minute.

Cheers, friend. I'll check it out right now.

Alright, gave it a once over, that is exactly what I needed. It even has a sample module. Many thanks, anon.
Anyone feel like discussing other potential missions to run, or should I let the thread slip into Page 11?

I feel like you should go with an Intrude N313 type thing. Have the Operatives gear up, and then infiltrate "totally-not Outer Heaven". Keep it short, sweet, and to the point.
>>44494923
I'll probably do something similar for the intro game, to familiarize and such. Give them all a chance to flex their own abilities and what have you.
The hard part will be giving Espionage characters something to do.
>>44494879
Do it like MGS V. Big sandbox filled with explorable locations and multiple missions to choose from with semi-persistent changes in the enviroment by result of player action.
>>44494971
That'll take more planning than I'm used to, but I have an entire week before gameday, so if I just sit down and do it that would be nice to run.

You could have the Espionage characters disguise themselves, hack stuff etc. But you could always just say "No Espionage characters this time". If you're in the mood for something even more confined, have the Operatives in a airport/mall/whatever, and then have terrorists take over the building. Of course, the Operatives have no gear, so OSP is in full effect. The objectives can include
>(a) Contact totally-not Campbell
>(b) Get some gear
>(c) Secure the hostages
>(d) Eliminate the terrorists
Seems pretty simple, and easy to run.

Alternatively, you could go with a full Action party, and have it just be Rising with teams.

Have your soldiers infiltrate active war zones with objectives to secure a VIP that is being tracked by all belligerents in the area. Make the VIP as much of a cliche of something as possible because its the flavor of MGS for high value targets to be somewhat quirky
Don't forget the quirky mini boss squad!

>Don't forget the quirky mini boss squad!
Probably the best advice.
>>44495238
Oh, almost forgot!
RULES OF NATURE!
Assuming a game set as Philanthropy members (since this provides some wiggle room in the canon), what is an acceptable loadout to issue?
Or should I give them some money and let them spend it how they wish?

Give them roles
In a group of 4 you need
>Rifleman
>Marksman
>Support gunner
>Demolitions expert
With a fifth and sixth player are some additional roles
>Dedicated driver/Pilot
>Overwatch
>medic
>engineer
>specialist
>Cyborg
>Diplomat
>>44495631
Forgot to add
The PCs should essentially feel like a mini boss squad themselves who are smart enough to stick and act and fight together instead of staying solo
>>44495631
I *think* I'm looking at a group of 5, and knowing them they will definitely need a medic.

Rules lite.
Metal Gear is high class techno wank, you're not going to get a real metal gear experience with a system that doesn't five page spread on varies us ammo types.
