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.

If "realism" is high up on the priority list, I wouldn't recommend Savage Worlds. It works fine for typical "only a flesh wound"-action, pulp and the like, but if you're concerned with "realism" or a more toned-down kind of action, it isn't the right game. Mook rules, the impossibility to kill a Wild Card in one shot and the fact that intimidation can shock you as good as a knife in your belly aren't helpful in this case.
