[QUOTE="Azlan, post: 928603, member: 2340"] I third that! Pendragon and Ars Magica are [i]fantastic[/i] RPGs that place a lot of emphasis on roleplaying and story-telling, yet without going too far with that, as RPGs like Vampire and Mage do. Furthermore, Pendragon and Ars Magica fit perfectly the description originally given in this post; i.e. they are "classic medieval roleplaying", and they are not oriental, anime, or goth. Nor do they require a lot of "micro rules" for accomplishing things, as RoleMaster, Chivalry & Sorcerery, and Harn do. But it's not just the rules system of Pendragon and Ars Magica that makes those RPGs so great. It's also their settings, histories, NPCs, plot hooks and devices, roleplaying aspects, etc., that make them quite different from your typical "high fantasy" D&D campaign. BTW: I have a used bookstore near me that has a humongous used RPG section. I can get ahold of half-priced copies of Pendragon and Ars Magica books, all of them in excellent shape. Myself, I've already gotten nearly everything ever published for Pendragon and Ars Magica, through this bookstore during the past few years. [/QUOTE]
