Mausritter is a tabletop RPG that you play a small mouse adventurer in a dangerous world. The rules are simple - only 10 pages, There rest are an example of play, lists of weapons and tools, bestiary, random table for character creation and master resources, It has a pay what you want digital edition that you can check it out freely.

Character generation is randomized, so it's very fast. I throw dice to decide the name, appearance, background, starting equipments, and attributes. There's an official online character generator. It has a physical card based inventory system. You can put items squares into the limited slots. Some heavy items need two slots, If you exceed your inventory limit, the character can't run and will be at disadvantage at rolls. So it's a hard choice what to keep. Items can be used up too.

Magic is rare and dangerous in the world of Mausritter. It often requires a quest to obtain spells. The mice have to hold the magic tablet to cast spell, so each spell will eat away your inventory slot. Like other items, magic tablets have limited use. The way to replenish magic is demanding. For example, the way to replenish the fireball is to "Burn in the heart of a raging fire for three days and nights"

My mouse adventurer Brynn Danger was a message runner before turning into an adventurer. She is a stubborn but charming, and loves to tell colourful stories about her exploits that may or may not be true. She is looking for a missing mouse to deliver her last letter.

Traveller is a scifi tabletop rpg that let you play merchants, space military, espionage or explore the space. Mongoose Traveller is currently the most recent and supported version.

The character generation is a game in itself, creating a character with interesting life story. You roll their attributes, taking careers, encounter different random events and decide when to quit before mishaps happening. It's very unpredictable and fun.

My character is a smart ruthless cybernetics & robotics researcher.

She doesn't come from the higher clase nor finish university education, but still earns prestigious awards as a field researcher.

However, she takes shortcuts and conducts unethical researches. When the government objects to her research because of politics, she continues openly. That's why she is hated.

Jane retires with the highest rank as a field researcher. She is eager to explore the space with her lab ship for more science (and dodge her enemies)

How I get into tabletop rpg.

I discovered tabletop rpg on my own on the Internet. The game is Top Secret S.I., a 80's spy rpg game. It's my first love - I plays with the character generation for minute. My first game, though, was a super game that I played with my brother using rock, scissor and paper to decide on result. I was GM then, and the trend continued.

generic or specific system?

Both have their place, I think. It depends which one is suitable for the setting I'll use

Fantasy or sci-fi?

Sci-fi. Because I like to explore the future and technology in games.

random or point-buy character generation?
I like to have some control in the character, so I prefer point buy. But random power for superheroes can be fun too.

crunchy or rule-light?
I'm lazy so I appreciate anything without much prep-work.

Style or substance?
I am know to be lured to RPG with good layout, but I also happen to think the brievity of GURPS book is a great style, so.

Narrative or simulationist?
I prefer narrative more because I can wing more things easier.

GM or Player?
I want to be simply a player, but so far I can't find people to GM for me.
