[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 4895122, member: 21169"] The systems that wow-ed me on sight were: RuneQuest - I loved how everything had the same stats and worked the same way. In many respects it resembles d20 D&D, but was published in the late 70s. DC Heroes - The AP system is an incredibly elegant way to handle the tremendous power range of the DC universe. Amber - To me it was a really innovative and interesting system. Very well written rulebook also, I particularly enjoyed the detailed play examples. I stopped keeping up with innovation in rpgs around 2000. Like I feel I ought to check out Burning Wheel and Spirit of the Century but I can't be arsed. Partly because dice pools are a big turn off for me and 75% of rpgs seem to use them now. However I do get the (almost certainly mistaken) impression that the days of innovative systems are gone, all we have now are innovative mechanics. [/QUOTE]
