Looking for a recommendation. I seem to play a lot of "narrative-first" style RPG's.
I'm working on a GME and would like to test it with something different. I'm looking for a game with these things in mind:
-
procedural, perhaps hexcrawl or OSR
-
not too rules-lite. I don't mind a system with some 'meat on the bones', with clear written rules for ... everything
-
but, not too elaborate on combat, rather fast combat
-
Has premade adventures in the system
-
still readily available as PDF or book (so nothing too vintage)
Bonus if it's low-fantasy.
So far I'm looking into Shadowdark but since I don't care much for the setting, would go for the Red Sands setting from their zine.
