Hello fellow scribes!

I am wondering what Fantasy game system you use for your Realms game. There are a plethora of fantasy game systems out there. From Old School Revival games, to Dungeons and Dragons (any Edition), GURPS, Rolemaster, Runequest, and beyond!

I'd just like to know.

I've only used D&D, because it's the only game I can find players for. Whenever I go to Roll20 and check the number of groups playing other games, there are at most 1 or 2, and often none at all. Too bad, because I'd really like to try Shadowdark, Old School Revival, or another OSR game.

I've only ever used various versions of D&D or pathfinder 1e for the realms, and the pathfinder was limited in time.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

I had a long standing campaign that started out as 2e and went to 3.x before it finally drew to a close some years after that.

These days though, I pretty much only play AD&D in my FR games.

The Old Grey Box and AD&D for me!

I use my own system, classless, leveless, single resolution mechanic, scene based play with narrative style meta currency to add to the randomness, and i can use any genre of game i want (although for realms stuff i keep it strictly fantasy).

Once i ventured down the rabbit hole of ttrpg design, i could no longer use other systems as they just have too many badly designed bits that i can no longer ignore.
