  I&apos;m a farmer wrenching on a tractor in the US midwest while watching a guy talk about his favorite roll playing games across the Atlantic ocean. I &nbsp;love the modern world sometimes.

  The Star Wars RPG by West End Games was the first RPG I played, back in the &apos;80&apos;s, because my mom didn&apos;t want us playing AD&amp;D. It&apos;s a really fun system that only uses d6 and the first two books were used by Timothy Zhan when he created the Thrawn Trilogy, the first books of the Expanded Universe (Legends). Fantasy Flight Games recently did a 30th Anniversary reprint of the first two books and PDFs of the dozens of supplements can be found online. Give it a try, and may the Force be with you.

  Back in the day, when we got tired of d&amp;d we switched to RuneQuest or Warhammer. &nbsp;<br>I didn’t really like the Warhammer system, but they had good adventure modules - much better than anything TSR put out. &nbsp; We also liked the way Warhammer had dozens of occupations rather than classes, so you could start as a Soldier and then become a Bounty Hunter and then an Assassin, or you could be an Apprentice Wizard who becomes a Wizard and then an Elementalist. &nbsp;It worked really well from a roleplaying perspective. &nbsp; <br>But RuneQuest was probably what we played the most. &nbsp;The game rules were similar to Call of Cthulhu (I think CoC rules were a mod of RuneQuest) - there was something about the rules that just seemed to make them more appealing than D&amp;D - probably the skills and the fact that you didn’t have ‘levels’ - so your character only got harder to kill because they became better at avoiding attacks, which just seemed better than the weird hit point concept of d&amp;d.
