This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What is your favorite generic system?

Perfect 20 is cool, and I really like True 20.  I also love Risus for all my on-the-fly and one-shot needs.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaEarly on, the poll is swayed strongly in favor of "Other", which suggests to me that the specific options may have been chosen poorly.

Me?  I'd lean toward BRP for most "generic" uses.

!i!

Me too.

I seldom use generic systems, but when I do, I go with BRP.

GURPS, hands down.  It's my favorite generic system, but I rarely run it, as I don't like generic systems overmuch.

Rather obviously I went d20 Modern.

However I ran GURPs for years and think it's a fantastic system, it's just been supplanted by d20 for me and my group.

I like classes and levels and HP. The mechanical core of d20 is the best system ever designed.

I'd rate True 20 a strong 3rd. I recently converted Legends of Excalibur and thought was very well done (True 20 that is).

I'm a Savage Worlds devotee.
I'm also getting pretty interested in True20.
