I voted public, because that's the actual situation, but preferred is at a player's house; my house currently cannot support it. I have, however, played in vehicles, including public busses, back in the 80's... before a certain pastor revified the satanic panic over Rifts, Torg, and VTM...

So the setting: I'm unfamiliar with it. What's the tech level? how much casting? How permanent is Magic's potential effects? How much magitech? How much steampunk (if any)? In re system: The core concept of their E20 are workable; their advancement rules were a pain. So little room for...

Personally, I don't like either as much as I like "High but not over" (used in Pendragon, Jackals, and AD&D 2E Psionics). Ranking them, High but not over, high, low. But... the difference in preference twixt high vs low is tiny. Also noting: I asked fourth graders, 5th graders, and 6th graders...

yeah, that tends to be a make or break element for a notably sized subset of gamers, which is why I called it out; it's not a dealbreaker for everyone, but it is for enough that it needed to be called out.

to make my point more clear: That DH lacks negative uses is a huge difference in what is "good" mechanically in Fate vs DH that suggesying Fate aspect best practices is almost wasting people's time.

You are making several assumptions here that may or may not be true... Without fudging, I've had a dozen PCs I ran AD&D1e for make it to 10th from 1st, no rezzing needed... but it wasn't with published modules. Several issues that may affect the lethality: 1st is that of comparable...

The EU GDPR killed a bunch of major companies' forums. Not directly, no... but by requiring increased privacy rights and removal rights, many non-US companies killed their forums rather than deal with upgrading to GDPR compliance. Some US ones did, too. That's a right that is constrainable...

Sounds like ST: Picard, seasons 1 & 3. And the Fenris Rangers and private medical ships.

Burning Wheel is noted for that same dichotomy. I found it something my players did in The One Ring... on their second characters, at least. Cortex Plus, especially Firefly, has enough flexibility that character optimization is not overly beneficial... but it is beneficial. Quite a few...

Not a bad idea, but "exactly like" is a gross overstatement and oversimplification. First, there is the range issue either can be invoked for +2... but on DH, that's on a 2⋯24 range being affected, while in Fate, it's either a -4 to +4, or -5 to +5. (There are flavors with 2d6-7, others with...

Because it's "Adult Content" - without regard for whether it's straight or LGBTQIA+. Or for subject matter. I'll note that noted LGBTQ game Thirsty Sword Lesbians is still in the searchable, but I don't know if it's turning up because I got it in some bundle, or if it's not been hidden, or...

Individual class sheets probably is a relayout. It's not as intense a relayout...

not one or two cards; 6 subclass cards, of which 3 are relevant, and 42 domain cards, of which 21 or 42 may be relevant; having duplicates of the 18 racial and 9 environment is useful. (either way, it's shipping with 42... it's just that the second domain is only relevant if someone else is in...

Traveller has a number of tools for different campaign styles... I'm talking CT, but MGT1 has similar tools. (I don't know, nor care much about, MGT2). The core rules for CT provide for several kinds of campaign. The Space Merchant: buying and selling, using the T&C system in Bk 2. If you want...

Normal folk. I'm multiply neurodivergent, normal people are outside my wheelhouse. Aliens are easier — outside star wars, star trek, and Traveller, "getting it wrong" is usually unnoticeable. But normal people? They're hard.

Rifts and Palladium Fantasy play fairly well, for a 1981 game design. d100 ≤ skill for non-combat, 1d20+(skill based mod) > 4 for combat. Note that I'm only going to talk about 1e Revised, as it's the one I have run. Have it both in PDF and dead tree. Anyway... Palladium Fantasy's core is...

My limit is about $80 for core rules on paper. Which, generally, I've found, is good for most everything coming out except D&D and Rolemaster. I paid under cover for Daggerheart dead tree, including shipping.

Yeah. gets odd anytime you mess with the chart, but if you guarantee that they get their slots, just not when, it's not too bad.

Usually, two different games. Cheat sheets to hand to keep the att/skill lists and difficulties straight. I used to run 3 a week. I can't anymore. My last "3 a week" - D&D at the store, and two different FFG star wars - one F&D campaign, playtesting the Gatekeeper campaign. One EotE, with a...

Which makes the game aspect complete fail - the even pace is for fairness. "So, Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that, how was the play?"
