Screenshot of a tweet from @headfallsoff it reads:

me: I am fundamentally opposed to the monarchy and the church as ruling powers. history is a record of their atrocities

my therapist: that’s fair

me: but i love it when the chosen king reclaims his divine sword and leads his army in glorious battle

my therapist: who doesn’t

I see this and I just always think that the early DS9/entirety of Voyager uniform is the best “24th century” Starfleet uniform, and it’s a shame DS9 swapped it for a less good one.
Promotional image for DS9 season 7 with the main cast arranged on a set of stairs on the Ops set cast is in uniform/costume. Top row: Worf. Second row: Quark, Bashir. Third row: O’Brien, Odo, Jake Sisko. Bottom Row: Kira, Benjamin Sisko, Erzi Dax.

Also interestingly, now the original creator, because he lost control of the brand, now works on what is in essence a fork of the original Tunnels & Trolls rules Monsters! Monsters!

Toon So a game trying to “emulate” a style like this made nowadays would take, or at least should take a very different approach to this game, nevertheless, it was in its own time an interesting and imo still perfectly workable attempt.

Pendragon This is an old edition, and the new ones are mostly improved AIUI but this is the version I have to hand. A game for being incredibly dedicated to Arthurian myth and its conventions

Mothership! Another one I haven’t tried yet, I like that it’s very informed by “OSR” style but isn’t closely derived from D&D the GM material (in the Warden’s Operation Manual) has some interesting stuff on both structure of horror & NPC disposition. Very bleak corporate space future.

Exalted: Essence Not, by any means, a rules light game but less dense and much more compact than any of the 3 “full” editions of Exalted, and at a level I feel like would be manageable at my table. I’ve long loved Exalted’s ridiculously baroque setting so I hope to see this at table.

Blades in the Dark Brilliant heist action, rooted in a model that deeply cares about what the scoundrels do in the downtime. A game about embedding the PCs in a context! And launched a thousand hacks
