Post Re: Popular RPG Systems
Here are a handful we've played recently to add to the list. Alphabetized for ease of later alphabetization. Editing to match the style of other entries I'll leave to you. :) I'm not a Cublicle 7 shill, they just happen to publish a bunhc of games I play.

Diaspora is a Hard SF rpg, reminiscent of Traveller, using the FATE engine. Diaspora uses a series of open ended descriptive traits. http://www.vsca.ca/Diaspora/

The Dresden Files A FATE 3.0 game set in the modern urban fantasy world of author Jim Butcher's eponymous series, featuring Harry Dresden, Consulting Magician. Players take the roles of various supernatural (or not) persons. Fate is a simple rules system that uses open-ended descriptive traits. http://www.dresdenfilesrpg.com

HARP High Adventure Roleplaying, by Iron Crown, the creators of Rolemaster. HARP is not Rolemaster-Lite, as MERP was, although it is clearly a related game. An SF variant has recently been published as well. http://www.harphq.com/

Legends of Anglerre Is a FATE-based fantasy rpg developed from Starblazer Adventures. Legends of Anglerre is rules-light system that uses open-ended descriptive traits and aspects. http://www.cubicle-7.com/legends/legends.php

Qin: The Warring States Originally published in France (and in French) Qin is a fantasy game set in ancient China. Martial arts and weapons and daoist magic are used in a game with a mild wuxia style of play. http://www.cubicle-7.com/qin/qinproducts.htm

Cool beans! Thanks for the formatting. When I quote it, I can copy and paste that BBCode directly into the main list.

Thanks, but I know I've been slacking as well. I've still have not finished reviewing titles from the second RPG Drive Thru bundle and I just bought the third!

I was reading over the list and realized that Nemesis was missing. As such:

Nemesis: A horror game based around the ORE system, notable for its multifaceted psychological trauma system.

At GenCon last year, the booth across from us had a new zombie game they had just released. The name is Outbreak: Undead, and is a percentile-based RPG.

Here's the link:

LOL, I really should add that. I've gotten about a dozen new RPGs since the last update that I need to add to the list. *scribble in his journal* On the official to-do list.

Suggested added text for Alternity entry:

Core book is themed with the Space Drive setting information as a default, but the actual system is intended to be generic, allowing for play in different "ages" of technology all the way from ancient to far future. A few settings were published, including Star Drive (space faring future sci-fi), Dark Matter (think X-files), and Gamma World (translated and altered to use the Alternity mechanics). The Star Drive and Dark Matter campaigns had a significant amount of supporting material published.
