One of my players said that there's an enormous load of etiquette to be taken in account when playing Legend of the 5 Rings. Knowing our group, we decided against starting a new game with that.
As a DM, I'm looking for something that's quite readily available and offers some out-of-the-box adventures. (I'm lazy.)
My group is not too serious, so anything with a possible light hearted tone is good. They are also fairly capable of optimizing, so it doesn't have to be a shallow/dumbed down system. A general fantasy setting is fine. Not all of the players are keen on SF, but steampunk is still good.
D&D 3.5 has been our game for the past five or six years, so we'd like something else.
So far, we've considered Warcraft (d20), the new Warhammer RPG and Legend of the 5 Rings. I've also taken a look at GURPS, but the Lite-rules were not clearly written and didn't impress me.
Can you help us choose between these, or suggest other systems?
Thanks in advance!
