From one of my favorite movies. I based many of the skills that the Marines have on what the old Leading Edge Aliens RPG. With which I ran a successful campaign with. I had an all female gaming group for that campaign. The two characters that survived the whole campaign was Ann's Sergeant nicknamed "Edge", mostly because she rolled crazy good when generating her character and Steph's character thru mostly dumb luck, because she rolled incredibly bad when generating her character.
