What systems do you enjoy that others do not?
Would you call that system a guilty pleasure or say it was just written off unfairly? (Possibly for being an edition of an existing property that "strayed too far").

I prefer making my own, though I usually end up stealing plenty from existing settings to make it function (like slotting in how magic works from Faerun so I can more easily handwave using D&D).

I'm sure we've done tournaments in-game, though I can't remember the specifics. Dool Arena in Star Wars comes to mind, although the award is staying alive.

In Traveller I remember the party going on trading runs for coin, not very interesting on its own but it did give the complications on the way a sense of urgency when we were already cutting a deadline kind of close.

There were many, many of these. Most of my players ask for something more interesting that gold as a reward for a campaign. An estate, an honorary title, key to the city, etc. I've also been a part of tournaments in D&D 2e and training exercises in Marvel Super Heroes to see if they are ready to join a team.

From what I remember, the German version of the core rules includes playbooks, scenarios and other stuff which has been published separately for the English speaking audience. Additionally the German version has (small) bonus chapters on dealing with racism and mental illness in Cthulhu games, which have been written by German/Austrian authors and are therefore probably not part of the original English version. And yes, also some new settings were added for the German version.

Does anyone have the solo content for Viscounts of the West Kingdom and the Keeper of Keys expansion that they'd be willing to part with?
Sadly, I picked up a copy at Euroquest but I just realized the seller must have thrown out the solo content 😞.
