Re: Popular RPG Systems Popular was borrowed from the previous thread's title. I'm not married to it. Also, popular for one may be non-existent for another. For example, I'm sure Epoch of Rysos and Skies of Glass have a popularity disproportionate to their distribution.
I look at the list as a central launching point for exploring other game systems, starting from the popular and expanding into the new, the obscure, and the archaic. Due to the increasing popularity of PDF publishing, even long out of print material is resurfacing. This warms my collector's heart for RPG systems. -- TAZ _________________ Adding web toys to Tangent Zero; an Evil Robot Generator, a Random Language babblizer, a life path generator, and some spreadsheets for MZ roadstrikers. |

Re: Popular RPG Systems JediSoth wrote: Did I miss Spirit of the Century? Fate and Fudge are covered. But, if you'd like to add something specific for Spirit of the Century, I'd be glad to add it. -- TAZ _________________ Adding web toys to Tangent Zero; an Evil Robot Generator, a Random Language babblizer, a life path generator, and some spreadsheets for MZ roadstrikers. |

Re: Popular RPG Systems SotC deserves its own entry. It is a substantial innovation, from my understanding. I havent played it though, so someone else should write the description.

Re: Popular RPG Systems Nah, SotC is pretty much just Fate 3. That said, it does deserve its own entry, so I'll include it among the others I'm listing.
Spirit of the Century: The original Fate 3 game built for pulp adventures. Features a long and fairly detailed skill list, sub rules of fires and explosions, and introduces aspects as a complete replacement for modifiers. It also marks the beginning of the stunt system, featuring a list of specific stunts. Pendragon: The Arthurian Myth RPG, Pendragon follows varying characters over decades as the events of the Arthurian Myths unfurl in the background. Blood Sweat and Steel: A Sword and Sorcery variant of Fate, with heavy Fudge overtones. Uses Aspects, Stunts and Modifiers, and is calibrated for violent amoral characters working off their wits. _________________ "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

Re: Popular RPG Systems Pendragon may need to be rewritten. I have a very limited knowledge of it, and while the prose actually sounds decent (the other two suck and do need to be rewritten), I might have errored somewhere i9n the description.
