** ''TableTopGame/{{Exalted}}'' creates a FantasyKitchenSink world where absolutely everything has been turned UpToEleven for maximum awesomeness, then has excellent writers lovingly tie all the disparate ends together, until you find yourself pondering the geopolitical ramifications of demon pirates battling ghostly ships crewed by zombies on the western oceans.

* {{Traveller}}: The best developed SpaceOpera of all. With incredible detail and flexibility combined with a rich setting to serve as its base. There is none to compare with it. And I do mean none.
* TabletopGame/{{Infinity}}: The most dynamic rules, best cyberpunk models in the market AND it gives out the rules for free? YES, please!

* Imagine that magic exists, but almost exclusively as PowerBornOfMadness (See that CrazyCatLady? She could be a sorcerer). Imagine that deities exist, but (almost?) all of them are [[DeityOfHumanOrigin of human origin.]] And you could become one of them. Yes, ''you''; a deity, just like that porn star chick who ascended while filming a scene. Imagine all sorts of occult conspiracies (Don't tell anyone, but many of [=MacDonalds=] employees are involved in one of them). Imagine TabletopGame/UnknownArmies.
