Unless I convert it to Pathfinder or Savage Worlds, I won't be playing it. I'd also port it out of the Realms to another setting.

I too, suggest Savage Worlds over either of the two systems. It's incredibly quick for newbies to pick up. You can likely find some Savage World conversions of the Warhammer setting but honestly, I'd pull the setting info from your current books and just use Savage Worlds. To expand beyond...

Another vote for Savage Worlds. While I haven't tried it for fantasy yet, it seems to hit closest to the mark on your requirements. I have used it for sci-fi, and I found it to provide a great deal of tactical options without slowing game play. Hands-down, it's the best system I've used for...

Thanks, folks! Lots of great stuff here. I'm glad to see that Savage Worlds can deliver as I expected. I've got the Fantasy Companion & Horror Companion and some 3PP fantasy support so I think I can give SW Fantasy & magic as comprehensive a treatment as I care to or as my players might want...

I purchased Savage Worlds a few months ago primarily out of a desire to have a good RPG for running sci-fi games and have been very impressed with the game and its ability to balance character detail with speed-of-play. One of the things that really impressed me, however, is its “flexible, but...

Savage Worlds. I'd heard good buzz about it for years but always seemed to have other things on the "to buy" list. I picked it up as I was looking for a good system to run pulp & sci-fi games. Initial trials have been phenomenal and the system continues to impress, even amaze me. It has the...

I'm still reading through the Sci-Fi Companion but my initial impressions are very favorable. It seems to have done an excellent job of representing popular & pervasive sci-fi elements. What isn't there (if you're trying to emulate more niche elements of a particular sci-fi setting) look like...

I've played a lot of sci-fi RPGs over the years, so as others have pointed out, you've got a lot to choose from on the upside. I've played: Star Frontiers, Traveller, GURPS, Alternity, SpaceMaster, Trinity, Star Wars (WEG), Blue Planet On the downside, a lot of sci-fi RPGs have specific setting...

2014 Plans: I'll continue with most of my existing Pathfinder campaigns. I plan end my adults campaign and "pick-up" Pathfinder campaigns and launch new ones set in Midgard rather than Golarion. If any of the existing, frequent-play campaigns end, a new one will be relaunched in Midgard...

Thank you, Savage Brethren! By this Axe, I SAVAGE! ... and by this submachine gun ... and by this blaster ...and... you get the idea. :)

SAVAGE WORLDS – Exactly as advertised! 2013 turned out to be a banner year for me on the RPG front. In addition to gaming more frequently, my oldest son and I expanded his Pathfinder circle of friends into a second “Kids-campaign” and Paizo’s crunch broke new ground with things like Ultimate...

Greyhawk all the way. While other settings can ratchet up niche concepts and flavor, Greyhawk handles a huge gamut of fantasy concepts very well while remaining rooted in the conceptual familiarity of the Middle Ages. I started gaming with Greyhawk as my first setting. The allure of the FR...

Ultimate Campaign is one of the best RPG purchases in years. My players love the background generator, retraining is a good system, downtime rules are a system I've been seeking since 1st edition. Additionally, kingdom-building & mass combat needed refinements over Kingmaker given its...

It's amazing how far the wheel has turned since those prophetic words "adventures don't sell".

If someone is telling you "this is the best way to play the guitar" they are not interested in a "good conversation". At best, they're "instructing" in a heavy-handed fashion. If you're the head coach of a sports team, that's your job. If you're the marketing a product that you're trying to...

Quite the contrary. I think WotC IS trying to turn public perception around and they are making a concerted effort to reclaim lost customers. But I don't give them any sympathy for having to rebuild eggs that they had a large hand in breaking in the first place. Yes, the extremists are a pain...

I can't help but think that if in the ramp up to 4e WotC had bothered to stop and ask themselves "are we being fair to our customers?" this thread probably wouldn't exist. If you take out the Internet forum trolls on both extremes (the "WotC sucks no matter what" & the "WotC is awesome, all...

Wow, that's even dumber than I thought it would be.

Wow. Sounds like a steaming pile of dragon dung. Thanks for the review, though. You've convinced me to dump all of the Salvatore novels that I'd held onto since childhood. I tired of these characters and the trade-off/pairing of Drizzt & Cattie-Brie competing for "most munchkin" many years...

Good luck for 5e/Next's fans. I hope it's the game you want & you enjoy it immensely. However, I am so over this "unify the fan base" nonsense. The 4e era has been a golden age of gaming for me and my groups via all things Pathfinder. Best wishes, but I don't really need to be...
