Free SRD available. The system is streamlined, fast and simple, but has some twists. Very different from D&D.3:16 Carnage among the stars - A game about killing all kinds of stuff for Mankind. See how much can be done with only two stats: Fighting Ability and Non-Fighting Ability.Dogs in the Vineyard - You play a group of religious Mormon gunslingers, solving various conflicts between the Faithful. The game focuses on player choices and judgments, with a returning question about how far will you go to have things your way.Unknown Armies - Modern occult game, where people gain magical powers from their unhealthy obsessions (like cutting themselves, taking stupid risks or watching TV for hours every day). Simple and intuitive system; it has a great way of tracking how people react to stressful events and how these affect them. It also has a combat chapter that begins with description of how it sucks to kill someone or be killed and a list of ways to avoid a fight.Exalted - An extremely high-powered game, strongly inspired by anime. One of the best settings I encountered. The mechanics, unfortunately, is not very good. I run it using Xia system (made by Asklepios and available for free on rpg.net wiki); there are also a lot of fixes and conversions to FATE or Savage Worlds floating on the web.Polaris - A game with an original, strange setting; a game that makes you fill that you're retelling a legend about things long past. Strong indie traits, including no GM (his responsibilities are distributed among all players) and a meta-game system (decisions about the story flow are made through formalized negotiation).</blockquote>
