Call of Cthulhu.
Bonus answer: Star Wars D6, our main game back in the day and a lot of great memories.
Oh I would like to try the star wars D6. I played quite a lot of the ffg star wars because at some point it was the favorite for most of the people in my play group, but I never found it very nice. I love star wars lore, but not this system.
@Merwyn D6 is the best!
FFG star wars is great. We did a few sessions with my current group and it was pretty fun. Easier online with the automatic counting of successes and failures
Yeah I had to make an android app for that because one person in the group was taking ages to proceed each rolls ...
I would say that the game as a whole is fine but it's carried by the franchise. The system is not for me, but no doubt a lot of people like it. I cannot even explain why I don't like it specifically, it just didn't work for me.
It's hard to really understand what each roll means outside of combat. Like you can fail but have a great success at the same time. The passing of bonus to weaker members during a group check is pretty cool
It makes it a lot harder to dm imo. It helps if you keep the table of suggested consequences for advantage/triumph or threat/despair, but even that can't always save you!
