This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What are your bare necessities of a role playing game?

I was going to make a crack about how it needs to have a game system whereby I can play a role, but...

I want to be able to make at least a few choices about how my character interacts with the world. A robust skill system is one way. Class and race is another. I want there to either be a random element which I can sometimes ignore, or a simple system for me to choose how I interact with the world. And then some sort of clear system for me to interact with the game world once I've got my "guy" figured out.

I -don't- want a shitload of rules I'll never use, or just cause me to get bogged down in minutiae. EG: my two current favorite games are Basic Fantasy and Fate. They give me just enough of a solid framework to adventure in interesting settings, without so much detail that I get mired in rules and fucking around trying to remember everything for my group.
