Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolf1066" data-source="post: 5207062" data-attributes="member: 88680">The big question is: how "systemless"?"Still within a given genre but not dependent on any one system that uses that genre" or "not aimed towards any game system at all, regardless of genre"?The latter would be more difficult/complex as some character types/classes do not readily cross genres.  Many do - merchants, soldiers, storekeepers etc - and some others could be "bent to fit" - e.g. corporate echelons based on the various tiers of nobility.  Many others, however, will not fit outside a particular genre - no need for generic technicians in AD&D but a potential need in any contemporary or future setting.  Likewise, some characters that are needed for fantasy will not fit in historical settings (others will, of course) and some historical/fantasy trades/classes will not fit contemporary or future settings.The OP references storekeepers and nobles specifically and gives an example of behaviour and the rumours.  The rumours surrounding given behaviour would also vary according to a setting or genre.</blockquote>
