Others that were home brews from existing systems were left off. Beyond a certain point, all you can really say is, 'I've played a lot of RPG's.'
I've played a lot of RPG's.
The list wouldn't be so scary, except that I play wargames, too. Fortunately, my wife is a gamer, and very understanding. |

These days, in my neck of the woods, it's easier to be a wargamer than a roleplayer - we have active wargaming clubs in my town and neighbouring Tunbridge Wells, but haven't had a roleplaying club since last century 
There's also, usually, a wargames show somewhere in the South East of England - within driving distance - every two or three months; but only one roleplaying con I know of a year (Dragonmeet in London).
Also, outside of major cities and university towns, the FLGS has gone the way of the dodo in the UK, so I order my games (including HEX) from Leisure Games in London.
Roleplaying is very much a closet hobby here (played furtively around people's kitchen tables), whereas wargamers - especially those who gather under the Games Workshop banner - wear their geek credentials more openly 
My fiancee isn't a gamer and doesn't really understand them, but supports my "addiction" because of the joy and satisfaction she knows it brings me. Although the money (and the amount of room the books and miniatures take up in our flat) is a bit of a concern!

We have a fairly broad range of wargamers and role players locally. Pleasantly, GW is far from the only game in town.
My comment was because my list of wargames is on a par with my list of RPG's, and I always collect at least two armies for a TTG. |

At a guess, I'd say there are some 250-300 RPG books on my shelves right now. I have pictures on my Facebook account for any friends or friends of friends.

Hm, I don't think I can list RPGs, but I know it's about 4-5 IKEA Billy bookcases of stuff (so that would be about 60'+ of shelf space?). I don't think I've ever sold an RPG off. Of course it doesn't help that I also play boardgames and board and figure wargames and have a book addiction too. I think at last count we were up to about 17 Billy bookcases in total, could be more by now.
Interesting that we've never had a shortage of RPGers round here (Oxfordshire). There's at least 3 other groups that I know of within about 5 miles. I agree that figure wargamers are better organised in terms of mainstream events, but they are a much more visual hobby I guess. But things can change, 15+ years ago I went to a board games event in London and there were 3 men and a dog there, no-one had even heard of Essen Spiele or German games, now they are much more popular. |

That's the entire reason I started my store, Potter! Game Stores are struggling, especially in this economy over here, and they can really only afford to support the mainstream RPGs, if at all. My market research group *strongly recommended* I not open a storefront. Now, I work the online store from my home and take the books to the conventions to sell them. (Best Stay-At-Home-Mom-Job Ever, except when I'm editing something!) It's quickly becoming the way to meet other gamers who enjoy the same stuff you do. I hope you can visit a con over there soon!
Well, I used to be a 4 or 5 book kind of gal, but now that I have the store I always get a copy for myself, which makes it over 80 RPG books. I daren't list them all. It'd be easier to copy and paste my Excel file. 
But there a ton of games I recommend. For example, the latest one to catch my eye is the SHARD RPG. Now, the creators like to call it the "furry" game, since there are NO humans, only anthropomorphic animals. Which sounds ludricrous, until you see the book. You flip through, see all the lavish art, and think "Yeah, I think I could play the Squirrel..." Throw in elements of space, fantasy, and asian influences, and it's a richly detailed genre on its own.
Yeah, I keep it in stock, and the coupon applies.

Far too many for my own good. Unfortunately, it's very easy to get stuck in the rut of revisting the same old favorites over and over again, rather than trying something new. Some day, I'd like to start running a regular one-shot nite, where we work our way through every system we own. Till I can drum up enough interest, I've seriously considered building a character for each one, but I'm not that bored. Yet.

I'm running a Shard demo in Champaign at Armored Gopher on October 16th. I'm working with Scott and Aaron to develop the Shard Emissary (demo) program.
I have a lot of love for rpgs of all kinds even the ones I don't and won't run as demos or as campaigns.

I might try and stop by. I've yet to get a chance to play the thing. What time?
