      FPBP, morons think that there is one objectively best RPG, intelligent people realize that taste is subjective and that the best RPGs are the ones you enjoy playing the most.

    Intellectuals play a variety of RPGs to broaden their experience and figure out what game suits their personal tastes best. Then they go back to playing Pathfinder 1e because they have all the rules memorized and their friends need to be spoon fed

      D&D 5e or if they started earlier. Unless the GM is a geek and gets them started on his pet system, they'll play whatever is popular and varied enough, and D&D fits the bill. It's make believe with friends, the system doesn't really matter. Intellectuals can be particular on some topics, but are mostly the same midwits as everyone else on the rest.

    Whatever the frick they want, since they're not moronic enough to obsess over whether they're an intellectual or not.

    Old mechanically heavy RPGs like Chivalry and Sorcery, Runequest 2e, Traveller, Twilight 2000 etc but run closer to tabletop RPGs wargaming roots rather than modern storygames.

    HERO System filters so many people it has to be that one. Build whatever you want, if you can. Also, the character builder software is $20 to act as a further filter. You need to be smart and employed.

    GURPS. It's blissfully simple and yet expansive, just like Euler's identity.

      >blissfully simple
      why is everyone going on about how complex it is then?
      also it isn't suited to do stuff beyond realism

    They try several and then end up settling into a homebrewed monstrosity that combines what they like from several games and is mechanically rooted in the first game they really got into, despite not really being compatible with the core rules at this point. Their horrific abominations don’t function outside their playgroup, collapsing in on themselves without the guidance of the brewer’s intentions.

      Roleplaying games (when played correctly) are wargames. Stuff like PbtA and modern D&D are storygames and not roleplaying games.
