#RPGaDay 2017 Day 14: Which RPG Do You Prefer for Open-Ended Campaign Play

Alright, here's another question from #RPGaDay that tweaks my old-school sensibilities:

Day 14: "Which RPG Do You Prefer for Open-Ended Campaign Play"

So, a quick Google search for "Open-Ended Campaign Play" says it's essentially a high-falutin' term for a Sandbox campaign.  So, eradicating my first thoughts on the subject, I'll keep today easy.

2nd Edition AD&D and it's illegitimate heir, Hackmaster 4th Edition.  I'd give the nod to Hackmaster because of its skill system and enough random charts to help a GM fill in the spots when the party goes AWOL from the plot lures they lay out. 

Random Tavern Name Generator on the GM Shield, anyone?
Word of warning:  Bugbears and Drow hate Sandboxes.... Itchy.
