[QUOTE="skar111, post: 635772, member: 10006"] Very hard to answer that question. Fantasy: i would say Warhammer FRP. It might be a bit too dark for some ppl but i think its very playable (rules based on 3rd edition WHFB) and the supplements manage to creat a very dense atmosphere (also very affordable, one rulebook and you are set, including world description and if you get the enemy within campaign u dont need anything else for a year) Science Fiction: i must admit i dont know that many systems there but i would say Fading Suns (original) cause, though again prety dark in atmosphere captures the low tech SF style very well (always preferred low tech over those shiny high tech thingies of Traveler) Near Future: i would def say shadowrun. not too far away from real world and offering wide varietys of campaigns (for all ppl who are complaining that the magic doent fit into the near future...leave it out we had a lot of fun with no magic round in that world) Odd ones in between (those settings that break the barrier of normal definiton): Def Planescape for me. but as many ppl have said before its love it/hate it (though i didnt like it at first either, so for all ppl out there sayin no to it, try it, u need an open mind but maybe itll grip you after all) Now Time: again hard to define area including from Twilight 2000 to vampire. i would go for Call of Cthulhu there. but again if you dont go for lovecraft or horror in general that wont be it for you. Vampire is not bad but in my opp very dependant on the round u play with. honerable mention: Harnmaster. not too many ppl ever took the time to fight through the rules (which are a pain i agree but who of us didnt want to build a nose armor) but if you take the time to explore the setting you will geta very well balanced medieval world. worst: mmmh i would agree with an earlier post that Das Schwarze Auge is very high on that list. i am also not really a friend of Wraith (think its pretty unplayable though i like the great war book). ok hope u survived that novell and see ya around [/QUOTE]
