I feel personally attacked and I have never even played Traveller. Maybe I should…
Star Wars 3.5 was my favorite campaign by far. I played an Ewok engineer that fixed things by banging on them with his rusty wrench. I can do a damned good Ewok voice. It was a riot. He also found and fixed a hoverdisc and just sat on it, floating behind the party wherever they went.
LANCER is absolutely a vibe and I enjoy very much.
I think my favorite system to run is LUMEN especially with groups that want the freedom to do the coolest thing. I mostly end up running D&D 5e and I’m very tired of being the rules lawyer/ loremaster/ combat manager/ etc.
Rules-light systems like LUMEN actually give my players a chance to get what they want while still paying the cost in resources, with a touch of tactical combat that made a memorable game.
Also a fan of Kids on Bikes, and the exploding dice mechanic from games like Savage Worlds!
I’m just happy to see Lancer get more attention. I don’t really understand why the goblin is apparently transfem coded but I’m happy for those who celebrate anyway
GURPS. The “Overcomplicated” part stems from 4channers deciding an optional rule that the majority of people will never actually encounter in a game means you have to do calculus all the time. The actual majority of the game is roll 3 dice, try to get under the number next to your skill plus modifiers.
As someone who’s played countless hours of GURPS, back in the 90s, I will point out that the general saltiness at its unrepentant chonk was always a thing, and long before “4channers” existed. (even before most of those backbirths were even zygotes)
Also, your perspective seems to ignore the unconscionable levels of inelegant bullshit that every GM had to slog through just to run a damn session, let alone a campaign.
Oh, "campaigns"...
The original geek addiction that makes MtG/WH/etc. look like amateurs. That sweet, timeless, fantasy of an ongoing, regularly-attended group weave of arcs that’s hooked deep each NIB “forever-DM” right in their inner kid… le sigh. 🥲
I like Delta Green, CoC, Trail of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Dark, Trophy Dark, Kult, etc. because I want terrible, fucked up, traumatic things to happen to my character. I want them to go insane or die, and to suffer the entire time it’s happening.
Or sometimes I want to play Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast. 🤷
But not Achtung Chtulhu?
