I don't hate 5E, but it's so bland compared to 13A.Big Eyes Small Mouth Uresia: This thread has been very focused on Tolkien-style games, but S. John Ross's Uresia is a very fun anime world for which BESM2 worked well for me. Ran it with kids at my local church for a couple of years very successfully. Pathfinder 2: For crunchy combat fun, building characters that are mechanically interesting and for a pretty good generic world with decent politics (for fantasy).The One Ring:  I must have run 1000+ hours of MERP/Rolemaster back in the day, but The One Ring is, despite a few mechanical flaws and some odd design decisions (hey, let's ignore languages in a Tolkien game!) it feel very much the closest to the world of JRRT.------------The non-D&D fantasy games I have run or played at least a half-dozen sessions and decided were not for me:Fate. Love the system and will run it for modern, space and several other genres, but fantasy tends to have less social aspects and more combat, so not the best fit.Savage Worlds: Just didn't work for me. Sort of in-between level of crunch that made my gamist side feel left out, and annoyed my narrative side. 13A or PF2 eliminate the ned for SW for me -- for fantasy, at least</blockquote>
