woops I was going to write more but accidentally sent LOL

much to peep tho. I always appreciate games that put flexibility at the forefront, and get out of the way of player interactions, know what I mean? The old schoold is def a font of inspiration in this realm I feel.

Have you looked at all at Monte Cook's Cypher system? As far as light and flexible goes its my favorite systerm I've found so far. The design philosophy of the whole system is to make the GM's job all about writing story, not numbers.

I have not looked at the Cypher system, but the things I've heard about it recently sound interesting.

I'm primarily a GURPS player/GM, but also play The Fantasy Trip and BECMI D&D. I do enjoy some of the OSR games like Basic Fantasy RPG and Old-School Essentials.

For years and years, I've been a D&D dude, coming onboard at the very start of 3e and running campaigns from 4e until just a couple years ago (2020? what could have happened?). Since then, I've gotten really into minimal hacks of B/X and OD&D like Bastards., The Vanilla Game, and Whitehack. My current favorite idea in the TTRP scene is Wolves Upon the Coast, a massive hexcrawl campaign with a minimal OD&D-ish ruleset favoring exploration, deadly skirmish, and boast-based advancement in a "dark ages" European setting. Luke Gearing has a real way with constructing a compelling scene and letting the bulk of the action happen at the table. It's everything I want in a game and then some!

Wolves Upon the Coast sounds interesting!

It may be a bit fringe these days, but ... GURPS :-) Love the Foundry game-aid for it for visually stunning online games, played some of these sessions during Covid19 lockdowns.

I’d love to play or run GURPS again. What is Foundry like?

What Tabletop RPGs interest folks here? — Right now I'm very interested in The Fantasy Trip from Steve Jackson Games, Monsters! Monsters! from Trollgodfather Press (which has the same rules as Tunnels & Trolls, but is from the original author of T&T), The Lair of the Leopard Empresses RPG from Mindjammer Press (which uses the M!M! rules and builds on them in very interesting ways), the Westlands 2D6 System RPG from Menagerie Press, and Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2E from Arion Games, but I'm...
