[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 9111643, member: 6685730"] Close to 60 different games, and none of them clear this bar? So you don't trust yourself with rules-light, but rules-medium is too crunchy. That...doesn't leave a lot. What about a modular game that starts super-simple, with bare bones rules for game play and character creation, then adds a layer of complexity for generic, extended conflict resolution, and then adds combat and magic modules in case you're still wanting more? Try [URL='https://modos-rpg.obsidianportal.com/']Modos RPG.[/URL] Gritty details: [SPOILER] [LIST] [*]Survivable. Characters generally start at 10 health, and kobolds, on a good day, will strike for d6 damage with a short sword. [*]Interesting options. While the GM can always interpret whatever action a PC wants (which can make Progress), the basic actions are attack, defend, cast, move, combine, mount, maintain, and delay. [*]Easy to learn...but difficult to master. The first module simply asks a player to roll a d20, add an attribute bonus to it, and compare it to the GM's result. The extended conflict module chains these rolls together with rounds and progress. The combat module adds a physical, more tactical layer on the extended conflict module. [*]Good GM tools. There's a GM's toolbox, which helps general game play. Combat encounter creation gets some pointers, but largely comes down to two major factors: which side has more combatants, and which side has better arms and armor? [/LIST] [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
