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! ๐คฉ๐๐ผ
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! ๐ค๐ผ)
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 โnow 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 ๐จ๐ผโ๐ณ๐๐๐ผ indie systems out these days. ๐ฅฐ
