Your Three Desert Island RPGs

[Parmandur]

it’s the new hot thing, would be interesting to see where it is on a poll like this in two to three years

Right, but it is clearly a big new thing, most new things did not do as well Jeremy as WEG Star Wars or GURPS.

EN World runs very old.

EN world- place where someone in late 30s is considered young.

Spoken as a man pushing 50...yeah.

Look, I'm 40, I work in a university library, and my kid is about to turn 11. I need somewhere to still get to feel young

My first two are easy:

1. GURPS 4e
2. Mutants & Masterminds (probably 4e, from the way it is shaping up)

With those two systems, the breadth of games I could run is pretty vast.

After that it becomes harder to pin down a third system. I thought about Cortex for the quick games or one-offs. But a third generic system seems like a bit much.

A game dedicated to general/generic fantasy would make a lot of sense, so maybe D&D 4e or Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I am interested in reading more on Daggerheart, but haven't yet, so I can't commit.
