Awesome article with some great choices. I have only played 3.5 D&D. Recently started playing Kal-Arath, which is brutal. It is a lot of fun though.

Kal-Arath is great. I might do a small press expansion of this theme and that would be a first choice.

I still love the setting and world FASA created for Earthdawn. The step mechanic was interesting if unbalanced (I recall the edition I have said it was based on averages, but did not use 2d6 for step 7 which irked me).

Because all dice explode in Earthdawn, 2d6 isn’t really 2d6 and has a different average.

I would put in a word for Dungeon Fantasy Role-playing Game, powered by GURPS. I have been running a version of it for about a dozen years .

Solid choice. It, and The Fantasy Trip, are on my shelf.
