Shadow of the Demon Lord has a similar, but in my opinion better mechanic. Instead of rolling another d20 and picking the highest or lowest to keep, you roll a number of d6s as set by the GM and take the highest d6 and add it for boons, or subtract it for banes, to the d20 roll. Still has a big...

Shadow of the Demon Lord. Plays quick and is easy to learn, but character customization is very deep. It's also extremely dark and twisted, with excellent sanity and corruption mechanics.

I'm looking for players to start a new regular game playing Numenera. The game will be held in the Med Ctr area, every other week, on either Saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons depending on what works best for everyone. No experience is required, and books will be provided. Just bring...

Savage Worlds is definitely light, fast, and easy to use. And it can accommodate any genre with relative ease. However if you try and run a party through an old school dungeon crawl you're likely to slaughter the party very quickly. The thing you have to remember is that D&D, especially older...

The mechanics are pretty simple. They have free test drive rules with a sample adventure if you want to check it out. https://www.peginc.com/store/savage-worlds-test-drive-lankhmar/

Savage Worlds would handle something like this very well I think. It has robust tools for generating races, worlds, starships, walkers etc. Easy to use rules for chases, vehicular and space combat, and cyberpunk style hacking etc. The powers system is very flexible and easy to adapt to suit your...

Savage Worlds also has Broken Earth, The Day After Ragnorak, and some other post apoc settings available. There's also a fan made Gamma World conversion.

Not to derail, but does anyone know where I can find a print copy of Apocalypse World? There's a price listed on their website but no link to where you can purchase it.

Savage Worlds would be my top pick, especially if you want to simulate the cinematic action of Fury Road. Apocalypse World, and Fate Core would both be great choices for a more narrative style game. If you want something with more D&D like you could use Gamma World. And while more super hero...

There are a lot of systems that can handle this type of game and they all have different advantages. So it depends on what kind of game do you want to run. Mini's or narrative combat, heavy combat or story focussed, simple rules or lots of crunch?

Are you wanting a scripted campaign to follow or a setting to build your own story on top of? Deadlands is a wild west horror setting with lot's of steampunk elements. It's very comprehensive with multiple plot point campaigns and adventures to choose from. Shattered Skies is another good one...

I think "Horror RPGs" is more likely to be successful than calling out either specific game. I think genre's is a better approach. The issue with calling out a specific game is it discourages the ones you don't mention. We have the system prefixes for when we want to refer to mechanics, and...

Closest I can think of would be Savage Worlds. It's level less, sort of. It has ranks but they aren't as drastic a jump as d20 levels are. No downtime rules by default, but the guys who make Shaintar put one out, it's on DriveThruRPG for a few dollars. The magic is very flexible. There are...

Is there anyone that has experience with both systems that wouldn't mind pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of these two different Star Wars systems? I haven't played either yet but everyone in my gaming group is a Star Wars fan so it's something we've considered giving a try. I know the...

Thanks for giving it a try. Hopefully the Star Wars fans that frequent this site will see it and hop in here.
