#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 18: Favourite game system
Although I'm very, very partial to Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, lately I've been finding the call of the original Dungeons & Dragons rules too difficult to resist. Yes, it is a product of times, but that only makes it more attractive to me. There is everythign there to have an incredibly rich game, without the bloat of latter editions (looking at you 2e!).
Of more modern renditions, or rather retro-clones, I find Swords & Wizardry Complete and Adventurer Conqueror King System to be great, complementary games. The former as front-end, i.e. what the players see, and the former as back-end, i.e. what the Judge uses to flesh out the world, clarify the rulings, run economy, and so on.
