Legend
The setting being so weird and the rules being built to support the setting made the rules of Jorune indecipherable to me; I couldn't keep track of which names were what.Tried Jorune, but yes, it was odd. Still have it kicking around, but haven't looked at in years!
That same effect has limited my willingness to try Talislanta. "25 years and still no elves!" (but 15 different variations on humanoids with extended lifespans, pointy ears, and varied cultural norms that have all been attributed to some flavor of elf in other works, and just have cosmetic differences...)
Talislanta's rules are simple, but the setting isn't. Keeping track of the setting is daunting; the names always are a problem for me. 30 years of looking at it, and not daring to run it...
