Pathfinder is awesome, haters gonna hate
I'm considering becoming a professional GM, some of the more interesting games I've come across while planning out my game options include Knave, Ironsworn, Twilight 2000, and Dungeons & Kittens
Let's not forget
...just to name a few legends adjacent to your listed gems. π€πΌ
p.s. Pathfinder was, in its early days, a welcome alternative to D&D βfor those that accepted a simple streamlining of the TSR/WotC SoP... Though millions of us OGs saw what it was aiming for: D&D in a LBD, but the underlying cray's just better dressed. π₯²
My selection process was "this one sounds pretty neat", I had no clue that I was picking legends! I'll have to take a look at those games!
Love to hear it! π€©ππΌ
FWIW:
Starforged is essentially Ironsworn 2.0 + scifi, as it fine-tuned most of what hindered Ironsworn 1.0 (the actual 2.0 came after, and even learned from Starforged in the process! π€πΌ)
PbtA & BitD have spawned dozens of distinct variants, to their credit. (pardon the latter's redderp link)
and ISDYSSM is an incredibly accessible game revolving around the group creation of a location, and I love using it as a Session 0 icebreaker to then incorporate said city/grove/etc. in the main game itself βnow that the group (of any experience level) feels a personal stake in the story to come!
p.s. Honorable mention for those more interested in roleplay over roll-play:
Just to name a few more of the absolutely π¨πΌβπ³πππΌ indie systems out these days. π₯°
