Struggling with System. (lemmy.world)

Hi, I was writing a campaign setting that was meant to be a heavy metal, sword and sorcery, Robert Howard style setting.

Trouble is I'm stuck for a system, initially I went with DnD 5e just cos it has so many tools for making monsters and encounters, but then I picked PbtA as a particularly troperific system.

Now I'm kinda stuck, cos PbtA doesn't seem to have as much meat on it. Anyone have any advice or suggestions for systems?

@AccoSpoot I think any number of #OSR or #NSR #ttrpg games would work here as most of them really shine in the context of a sword & sorcery style game. Given the mention of metal, #MorkBorg might be a great place to start!

@hexedpress @AccoSpoot 100% Mörk Börg is Metal as fuck. Super easy on the rules, and adaptable for just about every situation. #ttrpg #morkborg
