I understand that rules have "some" importance, but with d20 people seem to forget what makes RPGs so great, and that's the interaction with the characters and the world. For ex, I like to hear my companion's story from where he comes and what he does here (especially dwarves with their grand family ties & honor). That kind of fun moments are great, and they create something you "believe" in a way. I wouldn't ask if you're a sorcerer/monk or how many HP or which feats you've got... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Although that seems to be the way with d20 nowadays.Anyway, I understand Palladium wouldn't be perfect neither. I found another game though: Harnmaster and Runequest with their settings Harnworld and Glorantha. These aren't for sale anymore it seems, but they sounded so good. Pretty easy rules but less powered and more realistic than D&D. A percentile system a bit like Warhammer but more expanded (WH was too limited as both a system and the world).I read everythjing you people wrote, so don't think I'm settled with Palladium. I'm not and I'm still listening. Someone mentioned Ars Magic (and Harn). Could you tell me about AM's system. The setting is like medieval Earth it seems with only some magical & mystical elements added. I'm searching for something more "fantastic" though. I also heard of Chaosium's Stormbringer, some kind of dark fantasy. Does it run under the same Harnmaster rules; is the setting classic with elves & dwarves etc?Man, this is an epic search to find the right RPG.</blockquote>
