Mork Borg has it's own system, but also allows you to use other OSRs with it without too much of a problem. So technically you can just use the Mork Bork book for your background flavor setting and then insert your preferred mechanics. (So if you wanted your Mork Bork to use the 5E engine, then its just refluffing.) When looking at the rpg news articles that pop up on here, they have listed a number of such settings and settings that use an actual system.I guess in the end, system doesn't matter really if you reskin stuff and/or use the engine underneath while overlaying the carcass of the setting you prefer.On my end when it comes to Vampire The Masquerade: I'm mostly a lover/interested in  the 20th Anniversary versions of the Old World of Darkness. However, I bring over the Second Inquisition and First Light into it and the lore, even though those two concepts ONLY exist in VtM 5E, its a draping that is applied upon when I need a military opposition against vampires. While the systems, I assume would be very similar, there are takes upon the mechanics in their own way.Heart: The City Beneath, pretty much brings to my mind the Darkest Dungeon, so it's pretty much, if I wanted to do a Darkest Dungeon hack, it would pretty much use those mechanics with the lore layer on top.Ultimately in the end, it probably depends ultimately on what you want. You could have Dungeons and Dragons as an overlayer on top of your Fantasy AGE/Dragon Age games. You could play pen and paper Warcraft but use the DND 4E system underneath.System Agnostic RPGs probably rely, and understand, that the player base want to use an available system for such RPGs, then they can do that.</blockquote>
