What is your favourite non-D&D adjacent fantasy RPG?

[Edgar Ironpelt]

The Fantasy Trip. In particular, my heavily house-ruled version of Classic that doesn't have the GURPSisms that SJG put into their Legacy edition.

My early AD&D 1e game/setting got switched to TFT way back when Metagaming published ITL. And it's still alive.

I keep meaning to check out the current TFT but just haven’t gotten around to it.

Outside of my own game, I think my favorite is Earthdawn.

I like the current 4e. I wish they’d produce a little more content.

I mean the only non D&D game that I have played is Pathfinder, so Pathfinder. I guess we could consider the month that I played the Star Wars ttrpg in the 90's as well.

For me it's Dragonbane. Just the right amount of complexity. Nice intersection between old school and contemporary play. Easy to use for solo play.

Thank you for all the suggestions btw. I'm going down that rabbit hole. See you on the other side!

I'm a little confused how to answer on two grounds:

1. Some of what I've seen answered I'd consider D&D adjacent to at least a degree, so I'm not sure how to draw the lines; and

2. The two I'd have at one time said I'm not sure I'd say anymore for various reasons, and most of the fantasy I've been playing and running in recent years (Pathfinder 2e and 13th Age). At one time I'd have said either Fantasy Hero or RuneQuest.

On the occasions I an not running D&D or Pathfinder (or the many variants) I favor BRP (specifically Magic World, but the newest edition covers that well now) and Mythras. I will also point to Mork Borg and Outcast Silver Raiders, but the latter has too much D&D DNA in the mix for me to properly include.

Have the new BRP book. Need to put it on the table, read it, and creation one character. Dragonbane keeps getting in the way.

I really like Dragonbane but haven't been able to run it yet =/

Ten days have passed since I started this thread. Shadowdark and Shadow of the Weird Wizard are back on the shelves. My RPG culling was a bit too drastic. Any thing else D&D related stays in The Storage of Doom.
