What's your favourite TTRPG for a fantasy setting? (sh.itjust.works)

My partner and I enjoy worldbuilding and we like bringing our world to different systems and seeing how our world looks and acts through the lens of that system.

For simplicity sake, imagine a typical fantasy setting. Elves, dwarves, orcs, magic, yadda. What would be your system of choice for playing in it?

If you don't like your standard fantasy, obviously this question is not directed at you.

Bonus points if you tell me what you like about your chosen setting in relation to a fantasy setting.

I completely agree that system can influence the setting; the entire point of playing different systems with our setting is to see how those systems impact our world building.

The very act of playing a dnd game in the setting of middle earth is seeing it through the lens of dnd!

So you’re looking for discussions like: Is Gandalf a wizard, sorcerer, or cleric? Which level are his spells?

Sounds like fun. 😄
