[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 8941190, member: 59"] For me, and this is probably narrow, but [I]Dogs in the Vineyard[/I] (may be hard to find: currently out of print, and unlikely to be reprinted), [I]Burning Wheel[/I], and [I]Apocalypse World[/I]. They're probably not as diverse as other folks' lists might be, but (1) you can see a through-line between the games, in that Luke Crane is influenced by Vincent Baker in [I]BW [/I] and Baker has developed his own ideas about gaming in [I]DitV[/I] and [I]AW[/I], and (2) all three are pretty conversational. They talk a lot about how the games are supposed to work, not always successfully, but it's interesting and more than some traditional games have been. Edit to add, that when I say they're not always successful in explaining how the games work, I'm mostly thinking of Luke Crane. [I]Burning Wheel[/I] can be pretty opaque, especially in older editions. [I][SIZE=3]Edited to clarify a thought.[/SIZE][/I] [/QUOTE]
