[QUOTE="niklinna, post: 8941208, member: 71235"] I mentioned four out-of-the-usual games in the thread on caring for/about your character. Conveniently enough—or perhaps not!—they are distinct from those [USER=59]@Citizen Mane[/USER] and [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] recommend. It depends on which of your horizons you want to expand.

As for the games mentioned, Apocalypse World and Blades in the Dark have been pretty seminal games, spawning many a variant and inspiring quite a few games that aren't direct descendants.
