Hi Celebrim, it's a bit late but I am glad to see you return to enworld. I missed you in those few years you were gone. I always enjoy reading your posts. Especially the ones about your homebrew material and setting. If there is any place else you talk about it I would like to know if you don't mind. I don't have a suggestion better than payn's, but I generally have pizza for special occasions. But I eat pizza so ratherly that I consider it a treat.
Haven't you mentioned you don't find use for the much of the TTRPG material out there? That would make it difficult to recommend without knowing what you've already seen and what exactly you are looking for.Well, I had in mind game books, GM aids, and other gaming paraphernalia. Perhaps "treat" as a more narrow context than I realize.

On the other hand, I'm a rules collector. As a guy that frequently smiths rules, I enjoy collecting rules sets and reading them to get an understanding of just what is possible. So for example, I collect a pretty good amount of Pendragon even though I'll probably never run the system just because there are so many elements of it that I admire. . .
I'll suggest my candidate for The Best Thing Since Succeed/Fail: Modos 2 (on DrivethruRPG). By leaving the basic resolution roll open to interpretation, it encourages GMs and PCs to be creative even when they roll low. And the rules are laid out discretely in a catalog, which should facilitate rules-smithing.But I'm just not excited about either idea. So I was hoping someone who had made purchases in the past could sell me on some idea that this thing that was on sale right now was The Best Thing Ever.
Depending on how you feel about generic systems, Heroes and Hardships is at least worth a look.
