[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9045574, member: 85555"] Some that I would recommend would be: Hong Kong Action Theatre!: This one is a bit older but the concept is really interesting. The players are Hong kong action film stars assuming roles in movies. This allows for things like a spectacular death but it isn't your character, it is the role you are playing in a given film (and over the course of a campaign you are in multiple films). Feng Shui is another good one Savage Worlds: I think this is a good one for D&D players because it is familiar enough (it isn't the same system but it doesn't do anything that will throw them off in my experience). It is great for genre games and can handle a wide variety of settings. It also has bennies which can mitigate some of the issues you raised. And it has a pretty dedicated fanbase. Hillfolk: This is going to be quite different from D&D and will let you do anything from I Claudius to Breaking Bad with a heavy emphasis on drama.
