For fantasy, probably Hordes of the Things. I've also heard good stuff about Havoc, but I haven't played it, yet.

I just picked up the MRQII version of Elric of Melniboné. I've only skimmed some of it, but paid more attention to the sections on magic and cults, and I'm impressed so far.

Yeah, MRQII is my suggestion, too. Very cool iteration of the BRP/RQ rules.

The updated Elric of Melnibone book has been tempting me, and at half price I'm unable to resist any longer... :)

WotC lost me at 3.5. I was already growing dissatisfied with 3.0; 3.5 was the tipping point where I said "enough" and started re-evaluating what I wanted from D&D. However, I did still give WotC some money by buying PDFs of older edition stuff...until they quit selling those. These days they...

Let's see... The Savage North Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity Mythic Game Master Emulator Rome: The Life & Death of the Republic Crusaders of the Amber Coast Mongoose Runequest II Basic Roleplaying Trail of Cthulhu Old School Psionics Out of those, Mongoose RQII and the BRP Rome book are...

Chainmail - Out of the D&D-associated minis games I've played, Chainmail is probably the most fun. It's not stellar, but it's serviceable. It works best as a stand-alone miniatures game, rather than a mass combat system for D&D where PCs get mixed into the battle. Actually, I think I like it...

Hey, you left out Swords & Spells.

One of the best spins on a modern dungeon that I've come across is the "basement" or "long stair" idea on rpg.net. It's not exactly what you're describing, since it's a "chaotic" megadungeon underworld, but with a modern spin. And PCs are going to be government-related, almost by default (much...

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, I was going to suggest Esoterrorists or Fear Itself.

I'd use BRP or MGRQII for a Dark Sun game. (Oh, and FWIW, I see Dark Sun as being very much a pulp-style setting -- almost a "sword & planet" setting.)

I've never paid any attention to the news page.

I play tabletop RPGs. I use a table.

Rifts never lit my fire. I think Palladium Fantasy was pretty cool, though.

TSR D&D Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying Runequest

Mongoose Runequest II or Chaosium Basic Roleplaying

Wouldn't affect me at all. I stepped off the "new edition" carousel several years ago.

This makes me realize how few RPG products I purchased this year. Mongoose's Runequest II is probably the stand-out. Honorable mention goes to Rome: the Life and Death of the Republic (Alephtar Games supplement for Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying). Also, while it's miniatures warfare, rather...

I have no interest in the current edition, and haven't purchased anything from WotC in years. From my point of view, WotC and the D&D brand flamed out a long time ago. But I'm just one man, not the market. I doubt 4e D&D is a loser; I think it's probably making money. I doubt it's making as...
