D&D 4E came out a little over a year ago, and has a large following. D&D 3E reatains a large following, and is about to get a substantial refresh with the release of Pathfinder this week. The OGL birthed Mutant & Masterminds, which is a fun system that's showing how versatile it can be, with releases this year of books like Warriors & Warlocks and Mecha & Manga. Older editions of D&D are being re-examined and refreshed in games like OSRIC, Castles & Crusades, and others. In nearby orbits, we have GURPS 4E being supported with regular pdf releases, and World of Darkness gamers have Geist coming out this year for their game system. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head!
The number of quality options we have is staggering, to the point where there are more interesting things to try than time to do it. So I ask you: is this the golden age of (paper-and-pencil) roleplaying? If not, then I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better time to be a fan of this style of game.
