If only we had a Generic Universal RolePlaying System. You could even give it a clever name, like G.U.R.P.S.

Or HERO System if you want to be heroic (and really crunch those systems)

I bet you could build something off of Starfinder.

[-] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 32 points 1 month ago

Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves.

[-] kichae@wanderingadventure.party 21 points 1 month ago

Yes! Exactly! And some of the aliens in those caves might be somewhat monstrous!

You could maybe just remove the mechs from lancer. Maybe like double the health pools of pilots so they fight longer

Getting stronger while you play? Like with weighted dice?

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Go big and try Rifts. There's at least some way you could force the GM to have a cave oriented game in that one.

Oh! Set it in Missouri and be ordered by the Coalition to find the fabled Cheese Caves!

I hear Dungeon World is pretty good!

[-] optissima@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Check out Uncommon World for a wonderfully refined version!

[-] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks so much!

https://troypress.itch.io/uncommon-world for anybody else wanting to check it out

Appreciate you linking it!

It would be a stretch but I think Dawn Patrol could work.

Theres a cool game called Slugblaster which has a similar concept, except that you're going into alternate dimensions. I am sure you could handwave the dimensional travel as caveing

Paranoia is always underground, you just need monsters.
