Star wars FFG and Deadlands. I love the flavor of both. I doubt I'll ever play star wars, but some of my current groups will probably give deadlands a try.
I've played a lot of Classic Deadlands and its quite fun! Combat can take forever though, with an even moderately small group.
Yeah, I think if I do end up playing it'll be the newest version. I have the patience for crunchy systems but most of the people I play with don't. And the thought of playing anything more complex than 5e with some of them terrifies me.
Yeah, it's not for the faint of heart, the Classic system. Flavorful though, starting poker hands for magic (well. One of the magics), all those dice types! And character creation that still makes me slow down.
Not as slow as making a character in Mutants & Masterminds though.
