I’ve noticed that I often enjoy game worlds more than their mechanics. For example, I love the Shadowrun setting but find its mechanics frustrating, so I run it using the BRP system instead. I’ve also really enjoyed the new Robotech games but feel the same way about their mechanics, opting to use the older Palladium version instead. I even adapt systems with unique dice, like Alien or FFG Star Wars, by running them as BRP. I’m curious to hear which settings you all love that come with systems that just don’t do them justice, leading you to use alternate systems. What are your experiences?

I’ve got a soft spot for running nearly everything through Genesys. Whether it’s Fallout, Shadowrun, or even D&D settings, if I have narrative dice, I’ll just adapt it to fit. I love how flexible it is!
The adaptations for Shadowrun and other settings like Mass Effect using Genesys look promising, especially if you like a narrative-driven experience.
