If I wanted to do simmy post-apoc a la Fallout, should I use BRP or ORE? Savage Worlds seems okay, but I'm not sure it's my cup o' tea. BRP may be showing its age a bit, even in its most recent form, but it still strikes me as slightly more intuitive than ORE's system due to everything being percentiles.

Stargate-ish-thing!

Softer scifi with a focus on character growth and being jettisoned into foreign worlds with problems to solve that while they might be strange, still contain underlying human elements to them.

I was thinking maybe Dogs in the Vineyard, but I've never played it and wasn't sure if anyone else had a better idea.

What kind of gameplay and crunch level ate you looking for? Off the top of my head I'd go with fate or savage worlds for more pulpy sticking to the roots of stargate styled action, more crunchy you could do eclipse phase with the pandora gates.

I've looked at EP but it seems a bit too crunchy/clunky in spots.

FATE and SW are definitely "safe" options, though, if the group doesn't seem interested in indie-er games. I'll have to see if there are any conversions. I think Savage Worlds has a site for fan-made stuff, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Googling time, I guess.

You've saved me a Google, and the latter site I haven't been to yet.

Thank you, sir.
