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.

    Nice! I’ve just been using it to build a campaign world for fun but I haven’t had a chance to play it with people yet.

    Are you finding it works well as a sandbox? I’ve never played any kind of cyberpunk rpg like that before, it’s always been super-railroady because as players we understood that the GM spent time crafting some mission/plot in advance, so we might as well just go along with it.

      It’s less sandboxey than my fantasy games, but I typically generate the missions using the tools in the book. If you use the tools to have your city, your districts and your factions in place, all you need is a quickly generated hook and I can easily proceed with a randomly generated mission.
