[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 6266209, member: 54846"] Oh man, so many. Paranoia. Paranoia is... I actually don't know if there are straight up rules to Paranoia. Hillfolk is Robin Laws' new RPG.

Prime Time Adventures is an RPG about, well, creating TV shows. The mechanics are more about scenes focusing on characters and having dice to make dramatic changes/actions. Those don't have to be combat - one of the examples used is actually a comedy show. Monsterhearts is a paranormal romance rpg - its focus is teenage monsters in love. The only violent move possible is "lash out physically". I would wager GUMSHOE, because its primary focus is investigations. Penny For My Thoughts is more of an improv/question game than an RPG.
