RPGaDay2022 - 2 - What is a great introductory RPG?


What is a great introductory RPG?

These days, I'd probably lean towards something simple like Mausritter, Troika or Advanced Fighting Fantasy. That said, Traveller, Star Wars D6 or a BRP engine would work well as the mechanics are simple and coherent. Old School Essentials (probably the best OSE B/X clone) would be doable too.

There are a fair few games with decent starter sets these days (for example Tales from the Loop, The One Ring) which would also be an option. 

But on reflection, I suspect - if I was aiming this at my kids - then I'd pick Mausritter. Anthropomorphic mice warriors are just so adorable.
