Still Searching for "That" System

[Aldarc]

I recommend whatever game happens to be my Flavor of the Month at this moment. I insist you that you will like it and find it appropriate for your gaming preferences.

Thinking more about it, I wonder if Barbarians of Lemuria / Everywhen might be an option. Look up Cannibal Halfling's review of Everywhen from a couple of years ago.

Bringing this up again, because there's now more restrictions...
We've been playing Savage Worlds for a couple months. My wife doesn't like that it doesn't have "hit point attrition." Like, she wants to hit a monster and do 20 points of damage off its 80 point total.
So it has to be tactical, fast, big numbers, accommodate a large group, lots of options, etc.
This seems impossible.

Castles & Crusades with 5e style tactical combat?

I don't know.
They call OSR systems "weak sauce for wimps." And 5e's combat is considered "too boring."

Battletech?

I'm going to toss a grenade into this small pool. I think how you run whatever system you pick has far more to do with 'success' that any notion about which system you settled on.

I think a couple of those are diametrically opposed. Or at least are on sliding scales that are bound to each other in opposite directions.

E6/P6 maybe? Lowish level 3.x doesn’t take a ton of time.

Rolemaster .

I think it is impossible, I would not have had the patience you have shown. I would have long ago gone, "I am running X because I like it" if you want something else, then step on up and run it. I would be happy to play in your game.
