What is the difference between Dragonrealms and Gemstone? Both are offered by play.net. Was just curious to try one but I can't by looking at the two tell what is different.

Which one do you suggest that follows a more D&D type style? I'll give that one a try see what I think of it.

To be honest I've not tried Gemstone. From what I read it appears that Gemstone is more like a modern-ear RPG where we all play Indiana Jones, but with levels. (No character classes though). Dragonrealms has character classes, but is more like Runequest than D&D in the use of skills, gaining skills experience and the like.

The modern-era game is Modus Operandi, which is still relatively close to Gemstone and DragonRealms except for the setting. I'd say Gemstone is the most like D&D, but I haven't played it very much and it's been years since that time.
