Savage Worlds Explorers Edition
I played this game at MarsCon this year and was very impressed. I just ordered it from Amazon along with the Fantasy Companion sourcebook. This book is only 10 buck and is a high quality full color print. I was amazed at the production quality for the price.
The game itself is fun. It's great to play a game that gets right down to the good stuff right away. It's quick in combat without sacrificing the enjoyably bits, and the rules are flexible enough to allow for plenty of out of combat excitement as well.
D&D will always hold a special place in my heart, but I can't lie: I'm tempting strongly to find a game like this one that speeds up combat. I'm playing a game next week. Can't wait!
