I vouch for Soth to get people excited. I think that premise is so strong its the only freeform roleplaying experience that makes me want to jump in right away.

Coriolis kickstarter just dropped artifacts and tech pdfs. That was a hole I felt when compared to my M:y0 experience and the excellent artifact deck. The darkness points are a weird mechanic that I’m not sure beats out the attrition you can find in M:y0 or Tales of the Loop. Right now i’m embracing the cosmic horror found there and turning it into a frankenstein experiment.

I am confident playing/running Blades in the Dark probably makes you better at roleplaying. The way it encourages negotiations at the table is very fun and collaborative. It also requires a fair amount of GM lifting, but luckily the games setting is dripping with intrigue that it never feels like too much of a chore.
