I really don't think the various campaign worlds should count. It doubles my numbers at least. If you did, you have to go back to 2nd edition, and end up counting most things twice, doubling numbers yet again. Frankly, CoC d20, Star Wars d20, and the rest are all stretching it, as far as different RPGs is concerned, but the mechanics are different enough to merit it I suppose. That's both the greatness and the failure of D20, it allows connectability, so star wars rules could be imported into FR or CoC, albeit with difficulty, but at the same time, who's coming up with REALLY new RPGs, with actual different mechanics? Imagine if we'd all been content to use the basic engine of Prince of Persia? You'd never have gotten the newfangled "Sands of Time" video game because all we'd do is make really cool new version of the old game, with spins and twists to be sure, but the industry needs new mechanics, like Decipher's CODA system or Alternity, or the old D6 star wars or Vampire and all the other White Wolf Products. Sure, they all have problems, but D20 couldn't have been made without some of them. And someday, when the oft-discussed 4th edition comes out, it will need to have original ideas from outside the D20 world.

so here are mine:
d20 (D&D, CoC, Star Wars, d20 modern, Arcana Unearthed (Ravenloft, Warcraft, OA, Urban Arcana, probably a few more like Ghostwalk))
CODA (just LotR)
Star Wars d6
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying (blegh, hopefully the new edition will work better)
Alternity (Star Drive, Dark*Matter, Gamma World)
2nd Edition (Planescape, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, Arcane Age, etc)
Basic Set? The old Rules Cycolopedia and several of the boxes that you could buy at Toys R Us in the early '90s (and that's really as far back as my nostalgia can go, unfortunately. I wish I'd been there for 1st edition)
And if Amazon ever cleans up their act, I'll have White Wolf's Vampire

so eight, if you count rules systems. A lot more otherwise

OMG, someone else who actually owns Senzar... hey, there's a copy of Halmabrea at the used bookstore... ;)

I typed up a list the last time this came up. Some of the more obscure ones on my list:
Amazing Engine
Arcanum
Aria
Batman the RPG
Castle Falkenstein (original)
CORPS
Danger International
Dangerous Journeys
Fading Sun
Fifth Cycle
FTL: 2448
Gatecrasher
IFGS
Justifiers
Lords of Creation
Millenium's End
Over the Edge
Periphery
Planescape
Project A-ko
Road Striker II
Senzar
Shattered Dreams
Shatterzone
Stalking the Night Fantastic (Bureau 13)
Theatrix
Warp World

The full list is well over 100... and if you count different revisions/editions as different line items, goes up higher. Cur collection is a case of gamer marries gamer = tons of books!
 

without even trying I can think of twenty and more with some packed away in boxes downstairs in the rec room awaiting shelves to be built.

Must be a thing of older gamers. I have most every edition of D&D (Basic and Advanced) since I started gaming and a few older gems that I keep around.
