So,
I was looking at doing a "modern people fall into fantasy world" campaign for my Rpg group. I've gotten some plot points diagramed and a framework for the story, but I haven't decided on the system to use. (Pic one of the inspirations for the story, but I was going to have the gate/transfers be much less stable, to start with.)
I want something that can switch between modern times/equipment/abilities and fantasy without too much issue. (It will be heavier in the fantasy, but I'll have several modern technologies present)
However, my group usually plays Pathfinder for our fantasy campaigns, so I don't have much experience with more "universal" systems. I've played 1-shots of d20modern and Fate, but no experience in depth with them or how they deal with the different eras.
What are some systems I should look at in depth?
Fate? D20 modern? Savage worlds? Something else?

GURPS. Build your characters with Dungeon Fantasy, then play Seals in Vietnam. Or just a generic TL 8 world.

Tribe 8 is based on the real world-falling-into-postapoca-fantasy, so that maybe works? It uses the Shilouette system.

Or just steal from Technomancer.

GURPS may be the simplest choice, plus it does firefights pretty well.
You can also try Open D6 (very easy to learn and reasonably lethal), or a reskinned shadowrun.
On a sidenote, I find the "modern people fall into fantasy" setting to be best used with sword and sorcery.
Savage Worlds.
Although modern firearms are just flat-out better than bows (a crossbow is roughly on par with a 9mm pistol), you can never, ever count on superior body armour and equipment to save you.
One lucky exploding roll and that knight will cleave your head clean off, although tanks are OP as shit in this kind of scenario. Nothing works against them except maybe dragons or a siege engine with a very lucky crew.

The Strange.
Sorry about the GURPS trolls.
>>47312326
GURPS is really good for this. You won't have any problems with playing with both technology and magic.
OP here
Thanks for the recommendations.
I see it's popular, but GURPS is a little more nitty-gritty than I was looking for, based on past impressions.
For Tribe 8/shilouette, just it still on the 2003 release? Some of the reviews I saw said there were some big flaws with the book/system for the 3rd edition. Should I try to find 2nd Ed stuff?
Savage World and OpenD6 sound like they're still good to look at. I'll see what I can put together from those systems.
Definitely liking the recommendation for The Strange. I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds like it might be what I was looking for. I had been trying to figure out how to allow the players to be something other than lvl 1 in a new class when they got to the new world, and the system sounds like it supports that changing of powers depending on world easily.

If GURPS is too heavy, Savage Worlds will probably work pretty well (D6 Fantasy / Adventure / Space are all GREAT too).
Another might be Fate Core, if you don't mind something slightly more "narrative" in nature.

If you end up settling on d6, may I suggest using the Mini Six version of the rules?
It's a lot faster and I like a lot of the changes it adds.
