Can you name a good fantasy TTRPG that's not D&D?

The Fantasy Trip: In the Labyrinth, RuneQuest, DragonQuest, Jaws of the Six Serpents, Blades & Black Magic, Eyes beyond the Torchlight, Worlds without Number, Scarlet Heroes, and Iron Gauntlets all spring to mind.
 

A lot of these have already been given as possibilities but my suggestions are:
Pathfinder (I only play 1E so can't speak to the current edition)
Castles & Crusades
Savage Worlds
Blades in the Dark (I've only read the rules and not actually played it but it seems really cool)
Band of Blades (as Blades in the Dark, I have only read the rules)
 



I don't know if the company still exists, but back in the day there was this company called Iron Crown Entertainment. They had a pretty good fantasy RPG. I think it was called "Rollmaster" or something like that.

I assume this is meant to be ironic?

But as it happens, Iron Crown Enterprises is anticipating the release of its latest version of Rolemaster (RMU, with the "U" being for "unified"). I think it should be later this year.

No, I honestly haven't kept up with them at all since 1989.

So they're still in business--that's good. I'd need to read up on them to see what the system looks like these days. Way back when, their stat-rolling system had a heckuva spread to it.

I still have my Rolemaster books, 2nd edition I believe... Sadly I lost my copy years ago of MERP, the Middle Earth version of the Rolemaster system.
