How often have you used a game setting with a different game's ruleset?

How often have you used a game setting with a different game's ruleset? - Lemmy

I seem to do this a lot - I’ll find a game whose setting I really like, but dislike the ruleset it uses, so I end up converting it over to the ruleset I prefer (usually Cypher System). I’ve learned that to some people, this is blasphemy of the highest order, which is surprising. I still do it, though. 😬

I used nWoD for fantasy games. The core dice pool system works pretty well, and few things are tightly coupled to any setting in particular.

I mostly don’t like d20, so when someone tells me they’re doing a game about secret vampire societies in it, I’m a lot more disappointed than if they ported a system I like or am neutral on. Also 5th edition in particular makes a lot of assumptions about how things work.

I’ve played a Call of Cthulhu games in nWoD or CofD before. Never tried fantasy, that seems neat.
