Does anyone know of any conversions/homebrew made to incorporate Half-Life?

I want to run a campaign in the setting, but I am unsure of where to start on a system to convert the setting.

My Go-To is usually nWoD, but I think I'd make a special case for Half-Life—it's just so much based around heroics that it just feels like d20. d20 Modern is a decent, and often underrated system, but having just replayed HL2, it seems like it has the right feel, if you take out the magic elements & homebrew a gravity gun.

GURPS 4e. Yep. It's tasty. Mmmmmm. Gurps!

I take it no one then knows of any already existing material I can use?

Like everything, someone has made a Savage Worlds setting for it. Didn't read it, but here's the link (http://mysticbull.pbworks.com/w/page/21997846/halflife)

Edit: it's actually rather short, but has all the basic stuff I guess... Don't overlook the links to the One-Shot and the Monsters!

That is a fantastic start, thanks.

And yeah, I tried to appease the almighty Google, but it gave me hundreds of results for the half-life (or Black Mesa) rocket propelled grenade.

Why did the weapon and a game system have to end up with the same acronym?

When in doubt, use the "-" sign in your Google searches!

Searching "half-life rpg" -grenade gave me a couple things:

Hope those are of some help! :smallsmile:
