This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, let's hear your about your favorite free RPGs out there.

A few that come to mind for me, INPO:

1)  Risus
2)  JAGS-2
3)  Perfect 20 (small PDF link)
4)  FATE

Other free systems out there I'd mention would include Impresa and Iridium.  And I'm sure I'm forgetting a good half-dozen, but those'll do, for starters.  Your faves?

The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

I was invited to download a free copy of iridium system, it's not bad.

The fuzion system could work too.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.

Balbinus

Mazes and Minotaurs

Jags Wonderland

Zenobia

Warlords of Alexandria

those all leap to mind.  I host the last two at //www.balbinus.com but wasn't involved in writing them, I just had spare webspace when the author needed some.

Edit:  And Risus.
