#fudge RPG folks:

If you are looking for Gatecrasher 2e (Fudge) in Print your time has come to trade the lovely and talented Michael W. Lucas your hard earned dollars for his remaining stock of books. This includes Gatecrasher 2e (Fudge) and the 1e version of Gatecrasher / Believe It or Else (non-Fudge).

#faterpg folks, this could work for you too!

Mendicant Spell Vixens is a tabletop roleplaying game about foxes breaking into ancient dungeonesque henhouses in order to steal chicken.

It's built to take maybe ten minutes to learn or teach, but also to serve up a satisfying platter of challenge and crunch in oneshots or campaigns.

I think I'm done with D20-based games. I don't find the system particularly engaging anymore, and I find the more interesting things are happening outside of that space.

The last d20-based system I've looked at is 13th Age, which I consider the pinnacle of what can be done with d20 systems. Despite that, I have no desire to run it.

(Note: this is not a plea for shilling your favorite d20 system or author. I've done more exploring than this toot lets on and frankly I'm done with the system)
