SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Do you use one rule set, or a mish mash?

These days I primarily run/play GURPS, but I do have a tendency to rip things out of other games and bolt them on. The Passions mechanics (slightly modified and mapped to 3d6 instead of D100) from Mythras/Pendragon, for example. Really pretty much anything I find interesting in another system is up for grabs; I simply find GURPS to be a solid, comfortable/familiar base to work with.

At this stage of my life, I'm mostly done hopping around between systems and trying to learn brand new sets of rules.

I'm currently playing my own hack of Ben Milton's Knave, titled Book & Blade (link in sig).  Its a mix of Knave and D&D B/X, with the addition of Feat-like abilities and a few other ideas and rules from various other RPGs.  If I need to rule on something that is not covered in my 8-page game, I refer to the Old School Essentials Rules Tome.

So, mish-mash.

I love this Book & Blade. Awesome stuff.

Thank you!  Dark Fantasy Basic looks great and I would love to play it sometime.

I the interest of drawing players, I start with a single published system and allow myself no more than two pages of house rules. Fortunately, in the OSR, two pages of house rules can get you anywhere you want to go.
