My partner and I enjoy worldbuilding and we like bringing our world to different systems and seeing how our world looks and acts through the lens of that system.
For simplicity sake, imagine a typical fantasy setting. Elves, dwarves, orcs, magic, yadda. What would be your system of choice for playing in it?
If you don’t like your standard fantasy, obviously this question is not directed at you.
Bonus points if you tell me what you like about your chosen setting in relation to a fantasy setting.
I quite like Monte Cook’s Cypher System for just about any setting. Fast, elegant rules with just the right amount of crunch to keep things interesting. It’s really easy to grasp and can be easily tailored to fit any setting. I also love how it uses a descriptive sentence instead of cookie-cutter character classes.
