Cinematic Adventures Campaign Idea

I am going to be play testing these rules with a group and am thinking about the setting, and I want some impute from those that find the modern setting interesting. Here are my ideas:

1 - Resident Evil: Zombies, zombies, zombies, and some other monsters. I was thinking of having the characters play through the mansion of the original RE game. This would include zombies (all three incarnations normal, spitters, and crimson heads), lickers, hunters, cerberus, snakes, spiders, bees, moths, plants, and of course the Tyrant.

2 - Bioshock: Splicers, Eve, Adam, Little Sisters, and Big Daddies. I was thinking of having the characters be citizens of Rapture and going through the civil war. With the new Bioshock 2 Multiplayer as kind of an example of what would be going on, except the players would be together going through the events leading up to the first game (at least my rendition of what happened).

3 - Men in Black: Aliens, secret agents, and black suits. This one is simple, the characters are members of a secret organization that deals with aliens and their going ons. This one would feature homebrew aliens (modeled after already created monsters and such) and probably a world threatening event.

4 - Heroes: People, super powers, and Sylar. This one would just be everyone being a special (or not, their choice) and having to deal with the events of Volume 4 Fugitives. The powers would probably just be spells from the core (modified if necessary) that are usable with a concentration check. The abilities would increase with level and would just be greater versions (or related) spells.

5 - Other: Suggestions, suggestions, suggestions. Give me a suggestion or idea for an interesting setting. This can really be anything, as long as it is set in a modernistic setting. I do want to use the Modern Beta rules.

Overall I am partial to choices 1 and 4, but am open to just about anything. I am just asking for help to make a decision, there are just so many, and want to know what people would like to play.


#1 followed by #2. #3 sounds like it could be tied into Dark Matter or Call of Cthulhu. Not into supers (#4).

I don't see any sci-fi reference?

Well they are all sci fi, but if you mean futuristic then the reason being that I am a fan of Star Wars and already have those rules, so I didn't really want to do anything to futuristic. But if someone has a good futuristic idea then I am all ears.


I like space fantasy myself (like Star Wars) or supers. Not a zombie guy myself

Thank you. I did not know of this change in title. I like the name. Cinematic Adventures, it has a nice ring to it.
