My partner and I enjoy worldbuilding and we like bringing our world to different systems and seeing how our world looks and acts through the lens of that system.

For simplicity sake, imagine a typical fantasy setting. Elves, dwarves, orcs, magic, yadda. What would be your system of choice for playing in it?

If you don't like your standard fantasy, obviously this question is not directed at you.

Bonus points if you tell me what you like about your chosen setting in relation to a fantasy setting.

I really enjoy the flashback mechanic from Blades in the Dark. It's a nice narrative mechanism that makes the player write a bit more of the story.

Aside from that, I've been playing Cyberpunk RED. It'd be fun to see the Interlock system in fantasy. I enjoy the focus on skills rather than levels - I could see some fun crunch around skills in different schools of magic and combining them for spells.
