Help me use my discount! Recommend game books!

[Sect]

Yesterday, I FINALLLY discovered that I had gotten the Green Ronin discount, so, I decided to get a few books. However, I want to try some new games. So, here's the thing:

Give me some recommendations as to what games I should buy. I'm looking for some good (or at least interesting) NON d20 games. Right now, the only non d20 games I have are BESM, Exalted, Old WoD, and Killer. I usually prefer fantasy genre, though I would like to have a wide selection for my library.

I've heard good things about Savage Worlds as a game system.

TORG

Uh, it's nominally system-neutral, but I heartily recommend this book. :D

For a card/board game, Ninja Burger is a hoot.

GURPS Fantasy is great as well, as is GURPS Magic and Banestorm.

Thanks guys, but I think I should mention that the discount cannot be used on preorders.

EDIT: Holy crap that product is awesome.

I hope so. I'll hold off on purchasing as long as I can.

How many of you guys are going to be at GenCon? It would be awesome to get the autographs of as many of the contributors as possible on my future copy?

((Is the third attempt the charm??))

If you don't mind the Asian theme, I am a big fan of Legend of the Five Rings. Although, stay away from Second Edition (that is the D20 version).

For European Fantasy there is Seventh Sea that uses the same system.

I like Earthdawn.

Warhammer Fantasy is alright. But, I never played it much, and never really grasped the flow of the mechanics. So it seemed kind of convoluted to me.

Outside of Fantasy, Shadowrun is my all time favorite RPG. It splices Fantasy with Sci-Fi. I would suggest sticking with 3rd Edition, although I hear 4th Edition did well after they streamlined and reduced the rules.

If you would like further information, just ask.

EDIT:: Yay! The board didn't my post again!!

Just kidding, I saw it.

Sect, GM Gems has a release date of the 11th.

How odd... suddenly, GM Gems appeared onto my shopping cart... how did that happen?

[Lilith]

Strange how things like that happen...;)

[Sect]

Well, I added GM Gems (cause I like cabbage) and TORG (because I get the feeling that I can run the Phantasy Star game that I always wanted to pay with it) to my cart. Any other suggestions?
