[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6067650, member: 2518"] [B]The Dark Eye[/B] A fantasy RPG a bit similar to D&D with the classic races and Tolkien tropes but with a much lower "Wahoo" level. The setting Aventurien is a lot closer to the dark ages in Europe than a kitchen sink. It offers free character advancement (There are archetypes which you select at the beginning, but they only decide how many points it costs you to advance certain skills, not what you can or can't do, magic being the exception). It is a great RPG when you want a lower power level than D&D and a immersive fantasy world. Downside is that you need a lot of dice (especially mages) and that fights can take a bit (You can parry to negate a hit in combat. With two skilled combatants duelling each other it takes ages as they parry everything.) Also a bit more rolling is required (A skill check takes 3 dice).
