I've created several RPGs for contests here, but I'm not sure I'd call any of them systems.

This post is beautiful 🙂

Thank you! I didn't click on it upon first read, but your reply got me curious enough to check it out. 😂

I recall 3-4 different efforts.

Unique? Not much. I think they were all frankensteins taking elements that I liked from other rpgs and mashing them together. In other words, dreck.

A couple that I'd call sketches but nothing to the point I'd want to share them with the world outside of the context of a jam (which they weren't created in), and I'm not sure either are worth pursuing further

A question suggested by [user=Inkwan][/user]

Have you ever created your own rpg system? What was unique about it?

Hi-
Sort of... working on one where the players are gods of various sorts... but it hasn't progressed much beyond that...

And I'm noodling about with turning a card game (a version of Card Capture) into a 'quest' game... I've already redone the game into an election game, so I just need to put some time/effort into it.
