Because you play more than just high fantasy :) SW is a pretty good universal system.

Still better than The Battle of Five Armies.

After all, the driver can choose to put a flag sticker on his car, which expresses what he's trying to say.

Some states require car owner signatures to propose new designs; mine requires a vote of the state leg.

I would also add that the Avalanche Press covers are on the younger end of the 25-year dividing line.

That's what makes this discussion a bit more interesting. There was a definite line over which AD&D misogyny could cross; and did - in the first version of Palace of the Silver Princess. And while it is gratifying that the line has moved in a positive direction, I understand those who would...

For me, the reality is that my time is limited and the pool of players I have to try new stuff is small. I was lucky to play/run 6 different games this year, and they were all games I had played before.

"In this game you take the role of Xs who do Y. Look at media Z for examples." I think if you are not writing for newcomers, there's no need to explain what an rpg is.

Of the choices, Monster of the Week has worked for me. With the caveat that I played a Chosen. I think a strong-willed player might take over the game using that class - or at least turn it into a game of Buffy.
