You didn't mention the Palladium Rifts megaverse. IMHO it is the best non ad&d system out there. They quit while they were ahead on rules at 2e and just added new worlds which cover every imaginable scenario from fantasy to sci-fi, corporate intrigue to steam punk to cyber punk to you name it.

I was searching for more Icon content and I am so so so glad I find your channel

I'm lazy: any links to these games?

I see so few helmeted vtubers, i made my own but kept messing up the expressions, now I'm wondering if I should try it again or keep webcam

Dice and Demons

If you want free fantastic and fun. Basic Fantasy RPG, it's like the perfect blend of 0e and B/X and infinitely tweakable to get it as close or far away from Ad&d or even later editions. The community is great and if you want it in print you pay around 5 bucks per book in softcover form, cause it's sold near at cost.

this is epic

I jumped out of my chair and screamed and put my arms over my head in celebration when you said GURPS. I dont know what came over me

This is what i was searching. The answer to: why is the concept of "vtubing" only applied to cringe anime characters?

So many great games, so many great ideas, a great time to be gaming. Don't limit yourself to one game. Spread your time around. It's what I've done my whole gaming life. Shame there's just not enough time to play em all.

Thank you, Almighty Algorithm, for bringing me here! Gotta check out Icon, because "Lancer does D&D with fun combat"? Yes, please! And Armour Astir Advent? Wait, did you say Magical Mechs? And Gubat Banwa? Filipino + Wuxia + whatever else you said, because my brain exploded at that point. No, wait, I recall, "Sword & Enlightenment..." Oh, hell yeah! OK, subscribed, off to watch your other videos, K THX BAI

Thanks for all the advice.

I suppose along similar lines as GURPS, would be Chaosiums BRP (Basic Role Playing), from which spawns Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, Pendragon, etc.

Did not expect the monster care squad mention and i am overjoyed.

I had to stop watching when you mispronounced Escaflowne. You said Esca Flown, it's pronounced Esca Flow Nay lol

Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea deserves so much more attention!! Even if you just give it a look over 😅 Please help this amazing 3rd party publisher get a little more attention

Another one could be sword world 2 and 2.5 it's in Japanese but. There's fantasy translations out there of it.

MORK BORG!!!!!!!

I've picked up the Cypher System, I'm going to be running a fallout inspired game for a few friends of a friend set in Hawaii.

Some interesting RPG options! We just switched from 5E to Shadowdark and all my players immediately preferred it. Play whatever makes you happy, that just happens to be Shadowdark for me and my crew.

I do want to point out, there are a couple of settings for GURPS. Diskworld, Banestorm, Dungeon Fantasy (ish), and Infinite Worlds (again, ish).

Excluding CoC ALL the others are garbage

Maldware

Pretty dank

"Promosm" 🤘

the slow decent of trying to figure out how the math checks out is my favorite part of this game

DCC RPG, or OSR, but DCC RPG. #DCC4ALL

Bro was NOT having the negative three today XD

I don't like the fact that the chances of my own group calling it e-girl defense is non-zero

Haha what is this vtt?

I won't deny that WotC has screwed over us fans many times over...but that still doesn't affect my love of the game

Also: Index Card RPG. Easy to learn, fast to play, and ridiculously inexpensive.

Do not play the Star Wars D20 game. That was my first RPG system i ever played, and i love it, but do not play it. It is a mess.

Lots of great recommendations, but... why the hell did you have to slander GURPS like that? GURPS already gets enough flak from the community, 99% of whom have never even LOOKED at the game, never mind played it.

I don’t want to come off as bitchy, but Dungeon Crawl Classics is the best possible place for D&D refugees to go. Goodman Games is a wonderful company run by amazing people, and the game is the best TTRPG I have ever played.

CoC is the biggest RPG in Japan? A fellow small TTRPGtuber Notepad Anon said Sword World was more popular; since they did make it for themselves.

What VTT is that?

Full vid I'm curious now

Watching this live waa great. The comedici timing of narration and roleplay was impeccable. I love the stories this game can tell!

Savage pathfinder and the 2d6 version of iron kingdoms/unleashed.

Blades in the Dark feels a lot like the parasite episode of Rick and Morty…

WotC star wars? That's been out of print for over a decade. (2004? SWSE ended around 2007...)

GURPS but not Hero System? Even though GURPS ripped off Hero. GURPS does have much better source books though; better than any other game I've seen. You say flavourless like it's a bad thing. Personally, I avoid games with a setting. Cthulhu is OK as it's just Earth, but I wouldn't run anything tied to a game world because much of the fun is creating the setting. And how can you talk about SFRPGs without mentioning Traveller; the OG of sci-fi games? Rules light. A tonne of material, if you want it, and it's the only system I know where a character can die in chargen.

Over a year ago knowing WOTC would drop 1 last dirty shoe I bought and played tons of ttrpg's. In that time frame I found a system I love called D100 Dungeon! Now I'm set with a medium crunch gaming system that works with or without a GM.

What about 13th Age? It is a really awesome d20 alternative to DnD and Pathfinder. Also to mention Shadow of the Demon Lord.

You forgot one of the bigger and wonderful systems, Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE). Although the system is generic, there are hundreds of settings for it from sci-fi wild west (Deadlands: Lost Colony) to high fantasy (Savage Pathfinder) to pirates (50 Phantoms Deep) to horror (East Texas University). The system is around since 2003 and it is growing strong. The best part is, the core book is just 200 pages and within those pages you can find EVERYTHING from skills, to items, to monsters, to spells, and even GMs guide. Try it, you will LOVE it.

How did you miss Palladium Books? They've been around since the 1970s. Palladium Fantasy is one of the long-lived near-D&D RPGs _and it's still in print._ Like your furries? _After The Bomb_ (formerly the TMNT RPG). Lots of kitchen sink stuff? _RIFTS!_ Supers? _Heroes Unlimited._ Horror? _Beyond The Supernatural_ (classic horror), _Nightbane_ (for the WOD fans), _Dead Reign_ (survival horror), and _Systems Failure_ (alien invaders). There's also _Splicers_ ( _Guyver_ means _The Terminator_ by way of _Dune_ ). You also completely missed _Pendragon_ and _Paladin_ as well as _Runequest_ and other games based off of Basic Roleplaying (COC) such as _Elric/Stormbringer/Corum._ And you somehow whiffed about _Legend of the Five Rings_ HOW? Same with _Traveller_ (THE SF RPG!), _Gamma World_ (THE post-apocalypse RPG), _Mekton Zeta_ (THE mecha RPG, by R. Talsorian- the folks behind _Cyberpunk_ ), and that massive juggernaut that is _BattleTech_ over there (which has its own TRPG, _A Time Of War_ ). You've got at least three full _Conan_ licensed games out there (GURPS 2e, Conan OGL 1e/2e, Modiphius' version) and an AD&D module. _Basic Fantasy_ is out there, and it's FREE in digital and at-cost in print. _TORG_ is another multi-genre game (I prefer the original 90s edition), _Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play_ has multiple editions out there, and plenty of different _Star Wars_ versions to choose from (d6 preferred here). For God's sake, man! If you're going to offer alternatives, at the least mention the more obvious ones FIRST!

The Powered by the Apocalypse family of games and its spin-offs have completely rocked my RPG foundations ever since I discovered them. Monster of the Week, Blades in the Dark, Spire and Heart have been my absolute favorite games in the past several years. There's also stuff like Deadlands, WFRP and Cyberpunk that are still worth checking out.

I legit cheered when you dropped Lancer :D I freakin' love that game but haven't found a crew to play it with in a while. Good rec's btw but I have a couple extra myself: Numenera and the Cypher System in general seem easy to pick up and Numenera's setting is GORGEOUS. Also the physical book for the base system is top quality, came out of the box almost sparkling it was so clean. Secondly is Apocalypse Frame, a Lumen game a touch crunchier than Nova (which I felt was a bit too featherlight for my taste) that I've been looking into. Feels a bit like Battletech but more the Mechwarrior games instead of the tactical tabletop if that makes sense. Great vid my man o7 happy gaming :D

It surprises me that almost no one knows about one of my favs. King Arthur Pendragon. It's set in the Arthurian time (obviously) and has an interesting skill roll system. It's still the higher, the better on the d20, but you need to roll below your skill level to succeed. Example: someone with an 18 in a skill succeeds on an 18 or lower. If they are opposing someone with, say, a 10 skill, the will have an advantage. But if the roll a 6 and the guy with the 10 rolls an 8, they still lose. It seems to work well.
