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.

Rules...or setting?

Or in other words, I have run games with crappy rules because I liked the setting but I've never run a game with a setting I did not care for because I likes the rules that came with it.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

I want rules that reflect the setting.

I quit playing GURPS... and GURPS never outgrew warping the setting to match the rules.

One of the best things about some of the indie games these days is that they define the setting by using the rules... Burning Empires comes immediately to mind... as do Og and Cat: The RPG... rather than giving tons of fluff.
