Advanced Fighting Fantasy: The RPG system based on the solo adventure books of the same name.One part that is a bit iffy is that if you play one of the solo adventures, you are supposed to GM for yourself, which can feel a bit cheaty, but the kind of encounters you normally get in those may well demand this. As is common for this kind of game, making player actions matter rather than be just a flowery description to "I attack" or some other simple action is left to the GM, but the attributes do provide you with a working framework for that. Tunnels & Trolls: This is a very simple system where almost everything is resolved by using one of the eight attributes.These games tend to work well although they leave it up to the DM to give meaningful impact to the player's actions. These systems work well enough for dungeon crawls and even hex crawls, and sometimes even bring with them some good "set pieces" such as cool spells, character abilities, monsters and whatnot. OD&D: There are a whole bunch of "retro-clone" systems out there that are basically OD&D or some variation of it.Here are a few examples that I am familiar with: There are rules light systems that aren't "garbage" as in they hold well enough for a simple game or a few and/or bring to the table something interesting or other. Faster than say DANDINO 3.x and later or other games with tactical movement and feats. I do admit that Hero System is front loaded when it comes to character creation, but in actual play it's faster. Like anything the more you do something the faster and better you get with it.
I've gotten new players to role playing into Hero just fine as I help them create characters like I do with any rpg. It just requires a lot of math and thought put into designing the character you want to play. Thus, the system is built around the basis of Everything Is A Special Effect.Ĭharacter creation may appear to be complicated. The only difference is length of the weapon, but the damage of both is a Hand to Hand Killing Attack which is different from a non-lethal hand to hand attack. For example, the difference between a knife and sword. It's true when you compare other like things. What's the mechanical difference between a flamethrower and a fireball? A few minor mechanical aspects, but the special effect is the same. You come off as a butthurt woman that can't think logically. You mocking the system doesn't endear you to get me to take you seriously. However, taking into account equipment rules and bonuses, situational rules (e.g., grappling, stun, ganging up), Edges, and additional ways of running certain scenarios (Dramatic Tasks, Mass Battles and Quick Encounters), there's a lot more beyond just rolling Trait and Wild dice back and forth. I get where you're coming from that they seemingly present a really simple game. Regarding the Test Drive rules, yeah they do provide a good snapshot of what to expect from SW/SWADE. In that sense, it streamlines parts that could have been unified (like grouping "Quickness" and "Nimbleness" into "Agility"), but broadens existing subsystems. You're definitely correct in saying that Savage Worlds is a more simplified version of Deadlands, but it still follows a similar gameplay flow the other thing missed out in your assessment is that it adds more Edges (especially the latest Adventure Edtion). Ha I'm the opposite: I have Deadlands Classic and all editions of Savage Worlds, and though I've read everything, I've never played Deadlands Classic.

If you feel any of the criticisms below don't apply to the full game, or a particular version, feel free to bring it up. Also, I want to point out that I will use the test drive rules for reference here.
The kind of poster common in RPGNet always rubbed me in the wrong way much before being SJWs became an issue (or at least an overt one). I did create a bit of a bias towards Savage Worlds in that it seemed to peak in sites like RPGNet as a kind of solution for "overcomplex" and "unbalanced" systems like GURPS, together with a few others like Fate. I am rather ignorant of what they made of the setting after shifting from the original system, so that is not something I could comment anyway. My comment was more about Savage Worlds being an (over)simplified Deadlands. Furthermore, I want to clarify that I am not considering here how the Deadlands setting advanced under the Savage Worlds system. In particular, I haven't played it, which is admittedly a bad thing when reviewing a system. Well, I will begin with the disclaimer that I didn't like what little I saw of Savage Worlds, and thus I haven't done any kind of in depth analysis of the system.
