Anyone ever try to run an aliens-attack-earth style pen and paper RPG? I've been thinking of trying to run a sort of X-Com-meets-Independence Day style RPG. I've got a pretty good campaign plot mapped out but not much in the way of systems. I was thinking it could be d20-based since I figure there would be a lot of combat but I want to keep it fast and fun, but unfortunately, the d20/pathfinder modern systems seem like they leave a lot to be desired.
Also, wondering if it would be better to have people try playing as themselves (I feel like this is a dumb trope that could somehow be just dumb enough for this type of game) or if they should make up characters?
