[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 5339891, member: 41187"] Congratulations on solving your quandary! I hope you enjoy it. Savage Worlds is great. A very flexible system with a lot of hidden depth to it (it [I]feels[/I] rules light but it is actually very crunchy if you dig into it). Most settings are easy to "savage", converting the feel rather than the mechanics (I savaged a version of the Halo video games in about 8 hours, as a non-magical example). Lots of great options for low-fantasy, high-fantasy, pulp, modern, and sci-fi gaming. A small ton of third-party support, too. Dragon Age is also worth looking into if you get the chance. No rush, but it's a simple, fast-playing, flexible system with very little homework, easy DMing, no magical "I win" buttons, and some active publisher support. I was surprised just how much I enjoyed playing it, and the expanded general mechanics (social and role-play stunts) in the 6-10 Beta really flesh out the weak points of the system. Best of luck. And that is an excellent signature. [/QUOTE]
