I thought it might be nice to set up a thread in which we can recommend game systems to one another. What do you like? Why? Give us a quick blurb about a game you like and why you think others might like it. Maybe call out if you think it would be good for absolute beginners or folks new to the OSR/NSR. Oh and the genre too. If this gains some steam, I’ll pin it to the sidebar for easy access.
I’ve been playing Numenera for a couple campaigns and we all have really enjoyed it. The system is simple and kinda chunky and allows for a stronger narrative with more theater of the mind, less grinding in combat scenarios. Those combat scenarios can be more engaging and narrative, too. Plus, the sci-fi/fantasy setting is really fun.
