Ron's Top 5 RPGs - 2015 edition.
Can't believe how much this list has changed in the last 4 years. This new list is a change reflected by old school leanings, and new school products.
Honorable Mention: D&D5E While D&D 5e is no where near my favorite system, I think Hasbro, through Wizards has finally made a great version of the Most Popular Role-playing game int he World.
5. Earthdawn 4th Edition
FASA returned 2 years ago with a pretty big Kickstarter edition. I'm even on the development team.
4. Fantasy AGE
This is a really fun looking system, and while I haven't played it yet, I'm really excited to start running it.
3. Numenera
A Fun system that only has a minor issue, that dreaded d20. A Quick swap to 2d10 fixes that. Giving a nice central average.
2. Paranoia
(Pure fun, the rules are usually more of a guideline in this dystopic world run by your friend the Computer)
1. Dungeon Crawl Classics
What can I say, the gonzo over the top aspect of this game really appeals to me. as well as the easy stat blocks.

1. Advanced Player's Guide

(Pure fun, the rules are usually more of a guideline in this dystopic world run by your friend the Computer)
3. Earthdawn 3rd Edition
(RedBrick Ltd brings Earthdawn back through Mongoose Publishing's Flaming Cobra Imprint)
