[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8633199, member: 18"] Hmmmm. No sourcebooks, no expansions, etc. really limits what works for this, and changes it from favourites to RPGs you like that work without a bunch of extra material. Like you couldn't do PF2E even because despite the massive main book, there are no monsters. So accounting for that and in no specific order: [LIST] [*]D&D Rules Cyclopedia [I]or[/I] Worlds Without Number [*]Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary [*]Marvel Super Heroes Advanced Set [*]Spire: The City Must Fall [/LIST] I'm really conflicted about the fifth book, as I'm not sure if I'd want something that provided a good framework for designing RPGs, or just some fun space opera.
