What's even mainstream?
>>48316850
To OP? Probably DnD 5e, 3.5 and Pathfinder.
Mainstream: CP2020
Obscure-ish:Nechronica
>>48316862
I would also assume FFG Star Wars.
Mainstream: 5e
Obscure: Fate
So obscure you've probably never heard of it: Munchausen
>>48317272
>Munchausen
As in the Baron Von Munchausen?
>>48316700
Mainstream: 4e / Savage Worlds
Obscure: Strike!, homebrew shit
>>48316700
Mainstream: 4e/Fate
Obscure: REIGN/AW

Does RuneQuest count as mainstream? It doesn't have a huge base, but it has history.
Does Dogs in the Vineyard count as obscure?
More realistically 5e and maybe One Quiet Year at the moment.
>>48316700
5e, Runequest
FFG 40k Series, OVA
Depending on how you want to define, Earthdawn could count as both. It was popular, once upon a time. And it's really not now. I don't play any really mainstream-mainstream games anymore, never got interested in 4e/5e and PF is a shitshow that just made things worse, for my purposes.
>>48316700
>Mainstream
Pathfinder, with some 3rd party fixes
>Obscure/Lesser Known
Degenesis, I live in Perth, Western Australia and literally no one (outside of /tg/ has heard of it, and it saddens me.)

Mainstream: 4e or Shadowrun
Obscure: Nechronica, Little Fears, Monsters and other scary thingsI'm not a lolicon, I just like kid-pc's
Mainstream: Savage Worlds
Obscure: The homebrews my friends and I have made.
>>48316700
Mainstream is Pathfinder
Obscure is Nechronica
Running these at the same time with two different groups and it's the only systems that I've been able to play a campaign that lasts longer than 7 sessions.

1E or 2E?
>>48316700
Depends, where does Anima fall.
Though as the only system I've managed to run, I can't come up with another.
I'd like to run OW or Risus, though.

Oi! That one infamous system! Tell me about it. What are up/downsides?
>>48319028
>>48319140
I like its sanity system too, encourages player-player interaction

5e, Monsters & Other Childish Things
>>48316700
> Mainstream
Traveller

Burning Empires
>Mainstream
4e
>Obscure
Couldn't pick just one. Tenra Banshou Zero, Legends of the Wulin, Battle Century G, and Burning Wheel all qualify for me for different reasons
>>48316700
4e and Nechronica
>>48319233
How does it feel to be living a meme?
>>48321403
Not him, but...
>Skill and attribute system similar to Savage Worlds
>Deadly combat that discourages rushing into fights
>Lots of ways to get fairly unique characters, 'classes' and 'races' are just packages of feat-like gifts
I'm not sure of any downsides as I've never been able to get a group together, though I do hear that the skill list needs to be condensed.

Mainstream: AD&D 2e.
Obscure: Riddle of Steel
