Cool! Unfortunately my group is not 5e fond. :)

What about Coriollis?

Nothing wrong at all. Just exploring alternatives.

What RPG would you use to run a Firefly/Serenity game? Firefly RPG, obviously. But, Traveler? For the commerce aspect. Star Wars Edge of Empire? Rogues, anyone? Stars Without Number? Adventures galore! What else?

To wrap the thread up I did the list in my YP Channel (Rol Ràpid). Check it out (It's in Catalan, BTW). https://youtu.be/jZPQa3tD0C4 And an addenda: https://youtube.com/shorts/MrqhT4P7XZQ?feature=share

Sure, but I'm looking for influence not innovation. Advantage/Disadvantage is not invented with 5ed but it surely contributed the most to expand this rule.

Sure, but I want to leave "Story games" and "Solo games" out of the list, as I thing are a different beast from traditional RPG.

All things considered, to resume it all, my new list is like this: 1. D&D: the first. the one that started it all. Class system with level progression. 2. Gurps: Generic point buy system, classless. 3. Traveller: Career paths, nre atribute aprox. so many innovations. 4. Runequest: Skill system...

ArsMagica: Magic system, troupe style game, between adventure actions. Sorcerer: spawned the indie era. Burning wheel: warped-up the indie era. Savage Worlds: definitively out of the list. Fate: It boosted the whole "aspect" influence in the games.

Can Mork Borg be considered OSR or it's another different beast?

What about games from the last decade? Any "new" game really influential?

Agreed on Savage Worlds, it's out of the list. Added Ghostbusters and what about OSRIC for the OSR movement?

I'd like to know your opinion about the most influential RPG in RPG history. Those game that were precursors and lead the rpg design through the history. So far my list would be something like this: D&D The Fanstasy Trip (GURPS dady) Champions Traveller CoC Vampire Ars Magica Sorcerer Burning...

Not yet, but I'm strongly inclined to Dragon Warriors. With Pre-gen level 3 characters. Enough for "survivalbility" but not much moving parts and easy to handle rules (although very very very old school approach with several resolution systems, which is what makes me uncomfortable with).

Why low rolls bothers? Agreed. My main criticize to SW is the randomness of the combat related to open-ends damage. It's cool in theory from the PC POV but it sucks when an Extra inficts massive damage to a PC. I know it is intended to make combat meaningful, dangerous and dramatic but I don't...
