tmagann:
Have you tried Risus? I can't promise it's your idea of fun, but it's certainly simple.
Looking at it more, I think that while I do like Risus's combat system, it would be better for funny/comedy/goofy games. I still want to find a good combat system for more serious tones...
nauthiz:
"Simple" and "fun" are honestly quite subjective.
Somewhat, but so are a lot of words, yet most of us manage to agree on what they mean most of the time anyway. Try giving it a shot anyway, Nauthiz.
nauthiz:
Some people find the fun in bending complex rules to suit their whims
That's not the fun I'm looking for.
nauthiz:
others can't fathom needing to keep track of which dice to roll when if there's a choice of options with more than six sides.
Yeah, I can understand why those people feel that way.
nauthiz:
It may be easier to suggest some systems you already find "simple" and "fun" to see if anyone knows of similar systems.
Risus.
Except it's a little too silly/goofy to fit just any type of game.
nauthiz:
Or perhaps listing systems which you absolutely don't like and why
Combat-wise, almost everything, which is why I'm asking.
nauthiz:
The most simple system I know is "Roll for Shoes", which can be quite fun for particular types of games.
(Goes and reads about Roll For Shoes)
...Interesting. In fact, I like it. But, again, seems like it would be great for more light-hearted games... Let's keep suggesting things...
