How about some RIFTS? 😈
I absolutely love the world(books) from RIFTS™. The system itself is.... Painful.
Though playing Palladium RPG did help me to understand how it was supposed to be functional, in some ways anyway.
Palladium was foundational to everything in RIFTS and it was clear the overlap was just supposed to be implied knowledge, especially from the later rulebooks.
It was a bit need you had to pick and choose what to do with.
Your cyber knight with AR and SDC hitpoints is dead the second a child brings out a Wilks laser pea shooter with a full eclip
But in an SDC environment that same cyber knight is an absolute terror.
The world building through Erin Tarn is what makes the books entertaining even when you don't even play it IMHO
I would just casually read the rule books for fun. I had binders of Palladium NPCs with mapped towns and cities.
No campaign ever got off the ground, but it did develop my love of worldbuilding.
I just wish someone would combine TMNT & Other Strangeness's character creation (any animal etc.,) with Spore or some other creature creation engine in a CRPG.
it'd be tough to balance but holy hell would that be something fun
