My favourites will probably have to be GDW's Twilight: 2000 and Space: 1889, which are really nice. It's just a shame that the former got the Soviet-removal treatment in its latest edition...
One I've got and never had the opportunity to play is Aces and Eights which is set in the old west. The rule book is beautiful but the rules are pretty complex. It has the coolest character creation system I've seen in a game. Maybe some day...

I'm also itching to play a decent Dark Sun campaign. Not much chance of that happening either.

Forget about Daggerdale I came across a gem today went to the warehouse here and spotted - 'Drakensang The River of Time' cRPG not actually D&D rules yet guaranteed to make any rpger drool.

Ive just started the game so can't say much than its a German made game 2009, english voice overs are a bit cheesy but bearable. Graphics are well done what looks like to be a large game world to roam around in. Combat is what to expect think of NWN1. Up to 4 members allowed in your group. Game came with no manual not even a pdf on the dvd so had to go look for one online. Average online scores 8/10

I chose a Tribal Warrior, but cause there is so many to choose from I might be restarting a few times until im happy with the character I want to play.

Classes/archetypes to choose from
Warrior
Fighter
Archer
Soldier
battlemage
Healing mage
Charlatan
Rogue
burglar
Thief
Elementist
Metamage
Alchemist
Pirate
TRibal Warrior
Amazon

Talents - (the basics)
Combat talents
Spells
Special Abilities
Recipes

Drakensang-The River of Time:
Shame the developer went bankrupt.
Heard that they got taken over by a online coy.
Ie Drakensang franchise dead and buried.
The Realms of Arkania games are well worth it, keep an eye out for them

Okay said good bye to my Tribal Warrior after getting smashed by 3 large rats (What! Rats in a rpg? Nooooooo!) while on a mission to patrol the streets of Nadoret. I had bandages and paused to take one only for the bandages to not work I have no idea why I have to look into that, maybe I have to learn a recipe first!

Even still my Tribal Warrior with a big nasty two handed hammer with Dmg STATS 1D+2 (1D+3 with Str 16) bonus 14/2 Wep bonus -2/-4, still couldn't kill 3 rats - didn't help hes wearing cloth armor couldn't afford to get him good armor early in the game. Big tribal warrior you have to go. New game. Next up I chose the Pirate considered one of the dangerous fighters in Aventura!. Come the Patrol mission the Pirate takes them all out without even breaking into a sweat & he's wearing cloth rags.

I missed out some classes last time, came across some more when starting a new character. Drakensang-The River of Time, Love this game

Spell weaver

Mercenary (dwarfen)
Sapper (dwarf)
