Partially OT but I was thinking of running an X-Com campaign, however one based on the "War of the Chosen" DLC for X-COM 2.

In my mind that should work more or less like a standard cyberpunk campaign with Advent in place of your evil Corp of choice. PC should be part of the resistance working with stealth and subterfuge to provide valuable info to the remnants of XCOM and to the other various resistance factions.
Even the basic Advent goon should be seen as nearly unbeatable and counter-propaganda and insurgency would be focus more than plain combat engagements.

I find the civilian angle much more refreshing and RPG rich, does anybody have tried that?
