What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

I had been talking about this with a bunch of friends lately. I have decided I will never play D&D ever again. And nothing like it either, so do Daggerheart, no Shadowdark, no Pathfinder, no Draw Steel. I am tired of elves and dwarves and generic fantasy.

I could play Conan, since its at least got a historical feeling. (I would play the far best version, the 2d20 version). Aside from that.... I am just not sure fantasy is a genre that is intriguing enough to play anymore.

Partly due to systems being bad at making combat fun. Partly due to settings being a variant on each other, with little extra to offer (and largely able to be mashed into each other because none of their lore actually matters or has intriguing boundaries).

Does Numenera count as fantasy? I could play that for way more than 60 games...

Science fantasy is fantasy, so yes.

How to make combat fun is an interesting topic, might be worth a thread of it’s own.

I have recently become enamored with Rolemaster Universal (RMU). I would choose that with a homebrew setting and campaign.

Small digression - did you play the earlier additions? If so, how do you feel RMU improves them?
