Game System Recommendations
I thought it might be nice to set up a thread in which we can recommend game systems to one another. What do you like? Why? Give us a quick blurb about a game you like and why you think others might like it. Maybe call out if you think it would be good for absolute beginners or folks new to the OSR/NSR. Oh and the genre too. If this gains some steam, I’ll pin it to the sidebar for easy access.
You're viewing a single thread.
@HexedPress I will recommend an old system:
The Silhouette, which originally powered Heavy Gear, Jovian Chronicles, Gear Krieg and Tribe 8 and was eventually published ad a standalone book as SilCore.
It's a generic system, not too crunchy but extremely versatile. It replaced GURPS in my campaigns between 2004 and 2014ish.
Dream Pod 9 is kickstarting a new edition of Heavy Gear, however from what I have seen in playtest the new Silhouette is quite different from the old one I like.
Interesting! I remember Heavy Gear though I never played it. Thanks for sharing!
@HexedPress it's more or less my favorite game :)
Life on Terranova is the single best setting manual I have ever read.
