[QUOTE="Balesir, post: 6021727, member: 27160"] I'll echo Ars Magica - brilliant setting and concept, rules work OK for it. HârnMaster is my love for sim games - it's the one system I know that departs from hit points [I]entirely[/I]. Burning Wheel looks very nice, but I haven't go to play or run anything above a one-shot with it so far. Bushido, if you can find a copy, is very fine for fantasy Japan - and Pendragon does a similar job in a very different way for Arthurian tales. RuneQuest - especially set in Glorantha - is excellent. I once did a "fantasy earth" campaign for it, creating middle-eastern backgrounds and doing a sort-of "gritty Arabian Nights" feel. It worked really well - all the way from gritty origins to gonzo finale (confrontation with a mighty demon, Abd al Sitahn in a bizarre split world based on an Esher painting). Easy system to mod and play with. Finally, it's old and hard to find, but DragonQuest is a fine system, way ahead of its time. [/QUOTE]
