So, I'm gonna make a list of essential (or at least, highly recommended) RPG's by system. I'll start off with my opinion of RPG's i've played, but people feel free to chime in to make this a better list. Any systems you feel I should add, also chime in.
Links may or may not contain spoilers in text and/or picture form.
If you're having trouble deciding whether a game is an RPG or not, THESE THREE VIDEOS might help.
If you recommend something and I don't immediately add it, don't get offended. I probably just haven't gotten around to it yet.
