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. 🀘🏼

p.s. Pathfinder was, in its early days, a welcome alternative to D&D β€”for 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. πŸ₯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! πŸ€©πŸ––πŸΌ

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! 🀘🏼)

  • 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 β€”now 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 πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ³πŸ’‹πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ indie systems out these days. πŸ₯°
