I'm in dire need of some system recommendations, so maybe general recommendations thread?

Looking for a fantasy system that offers:
Gridless combat
Medium(+) rules depth
More than 4 playable races
Skills for martials
Optional setting (can brew my own)

I played V:tM before and actually liked the loose combat but bloodsuckers is just not my favorite setting. D&D 5E seems to be hackable for gridless but not optimal and DSA/TDE can fuck off with its boring races. Couldn't find the current .pdfs for Earthdawn.

5E is designed specifically for non-grid gameplay. I've never actually seen anyone play it with a grid before.

Plus it's the only thing I can think of that ticks all your boxes without being so obscure you'd never find a full group to play it.
Maybe Burning Wheel?
>>
GURPS
>>
>>52002577
Got a group that will most likely play anything that would tick most of these boxes, so that's not the biggest problem. I've seen a lot of "how to translate spell cones into non-grid relative positions" etc. threads about 5E, that's why I didn't immediately look into it.
>>
>>52002737
The people making those threads are retarded, 5E is explicitly made to work with theater of the mind gameplay.
>>
>>52002479
GURPS, either Dungeon or Fantasy.
>>
>>52002805
It's Dungeon Fantasy.
Just "Fantasy" is a "how to build a fantasy setting" book.

>Medium(+) rules depth
Now is that
>I really want a rules lite system but don't want to admit I want soft rules.
or
>What I really want is really crunchy rules, but want to avoid anything that remotely sounds like D&D

Burning wheel is one of the few systems that I'd consider heavier rule wise than 3.5

Rolled 2 (1d100)

I like when it's depth that can actually be used for something instead of being "depth for depth's sake". Maybe "options" would be a more fitting term? Sure you can homebrew lots of stuff but I enjoy systems that have a solid core to work with.

Go with Savage Worlds

>>52002479
Play Shadow of the Demon Lord

>>52002479
>More than 4 playable races
Why? Can't role play properly unless someone has elf titties and dwarf cock?
>>
>>52003338
Because I find it extremely boring. Hey let's play a fantasy campaign with humans, short humans and catwalk models with an abnormally long lifespan.
>>
>>52003397
And someone who plays a demon, djinn, or angel the exact same way as a human, short human, or catwalk model with an abnormally long lfiespan except with a minor gimmick is not boring to you?
>>
>>52002479
Rule of Cool's Legend.
>>
>>52003473
Djinn, Demon or Angel are arguably further away from being human + modifier than dwarf #8733

If you are bored by settings that only have humans in them then you have no idea what good characterization is. You are simply a pleb. I suspect you're probably a snowflaker too. Indulge us: what was your last character?

huh... actually yea, seconding this.
