For me, I have always been looking for systems that rewarded player input more than modifiers, and which duplicate real-world results. And which play smoothly. I've found a few, enough to keep me in the hobby.

I am very open, if the system brings something to the table besides yet another minor variant to existing systems, or simply strips down the rules and calls itself 'rules-light'. But sadly, innovation is thin on the ground. It feels (to me) like the last twenty years have seen more emphasis...

Me, too. I prefer older gamers, because their lives have stabilized. Definitely no college students, because every semester there's a schedule crisis.

I provide all game materials, so price is not a factor. So far, the majority of my group plays whatever I provide. I have lost a player or two because they did not care for the settings I choose, but not enough to impede the progress of our weekly game, and the online replacement depot plugs...

Ive only gotten a couple one-shots. It is such an awesome concept and setting, but you need the right group to make it work.

Kenzer's Hackmaster 5e. A d100 system that is a refined version of their Aces & Eights Old West RPG, HM5 is low-magic, combat-intense, and skill-based. Kenzer still limps along, but it doesn't get the love it deserves. Foryunately, it gets solid support from Roll20.

The best way to make a small fortune in the FLGS business is to start with a large fortune. :cool:

Just curious, but if you want a game like 5e or PF, why not use one of them?

Time to measure up! (In good humor)

It looks interesting, but the title sounds like something you cough up.

If you play Gurps, you have lost.

I've used Zwei for years. It is a much improved WH.

Ah. Got it.

The problem with that, is super-rich villains would have so little trouble disposing of PC foes, via legal systems, contract killers, spin doctors, and all sorts of pricy conventional methods. IME, you want your villains in modern day a bit more limited in resources, and more out-of-sync with...

I used MapTool for a decade, so that might have made me more open. But I have zero HTML skills, and using Roll20 is a cinch. Of course, I don't play D&D, so it might be an issue of how systems are portrayed. I believe Roll20 and D&D Beyond are cooperating.

Roll20. Reliable, stable, continually improving, and above all, user-friendly. If you can drag and click, you can use it.

Live to game in 2026.

It must be, they keep saying that! ;)

One thing that old age has taught me, is that the future seldom looks like you imagined, or hoped for. And that there is a constant stream of 'in thirty years...' predictions. In the 70s, for instance, we were supposed to have run out of oil and be fighting wars over cropland by the 2000s. And...

Nope, not useful. You put glitter on bad rules, its just bad rules with glitter.
