This is the game I've been looking for. Lancer-like tactics, streamlined rules and basic premises roughly compatible with my long-nurtured pipedream of running an X-COM-like campaign in the setting of B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth. Thank you!
I can't think of a higher compliment than my game being used for a Mignola joint! Thank you!
I just want to say that it is awesome to see you are continuing this game from the verison in my contest. I think a tactical X-Com inspired RPG is something awesome and something I personally find interesting. Best of Luck!
Hey, thank you so much!
