Pen and Paper RPGs

Hello fellow Imgurians

I have seen several D&D posts, and I wanted to share some other amazing pen and paper RPGs with you. I was a huge pathfinder nut a few years ago, simply because I didn't know there was anything else, so I wanted to help inform others of the wonders of other role playing games. These are my top 3 favorite so far, but far from the only ones I have enjoyed.

Burning Wheel

Top of my list right now is The Burning Wheel. This is a Tolkien-esque fantasy role playing game, which focuses almost entirely on role playing and character interactions. While it is one of the heaviest games I've played rules-wise, it is also the one I've enjoyed most. Character creation, or "character burning" as they call it, builds the character's backstory into the character's skills and traits, and a character's beliefs are what drive the story. If you want to learn a new skill, you are going to have to use that skill in game. I can't do this game justice in a post, so here is a review that does pretty well:

Paranoia

Until I was introduced to this game, I had never thought of pen and paper RPGs as something that could be a comedy. Paranoia is an RPG where you play a citizen of Alpha Complex, which is the model of a perfect society. Everyone is happy, because happiness is mandatory. To make everything even more perfect, Alpha Complex is ruled over by the most amazing and perfect computer, and the Computer cares so much about you that the Computer wants to be your friend! Everyone say thank you to your friend, the Computer!
I have heard this game primarily described as 1984 meets the Marx Brothers, but I have found that a lot more people know what I'm talking about if I say "Imagine Glados from Protal rules over the world of Futurama." Yes, it is that ridiculous. Here is a brief into, citizen:

Savage Worlds

Savage Worlds makes this list because it is my favorite settingless system. Savage Worlds provides rules for making characters for, and playing them in, any setting you want. If you've ever seen a show or read a book and wanted to play a pen and paper RPG in that setting, Savage Worlds provides. Savage Worlds is also one of the simplest games I play. Simply roll a die and compare it to the number 4.
Another reason I like this game is there are a lot of different pre-written settings for players. This allows players to jump between different games, that all have their own flavor, and not have to get bogged down in learning new rules.
Here's a general review and introduction to playing:

One last thing to talk about

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! I'm now going to do a shameless self-plug. If you aren't interested, feel free to move on.

While I did make this post to promote some of my favorite RPGs, I also want to promote one other pen and paper RPG: Hellbound. Hellbound isn't out yet, and that's because I am currently in the middle of writing it. It has a unique dice system, and I am working very hard to give it a fluid, cinematic combat system, that allows for more than FF style "I attack, now you attack, now I attack" combat.
Hellbound will have a dark, Sci-Fi Fantasy setting. Humanity has left earth, and now lives on giant starships known as freights. Each freight is privately owned, and all the people who live on the freight must bend to the wishes of the freight owner, else they are shot into the merciless vacuum of space.
If you are interested in reading more, here are the links to a short story I've written for the game, and a setting intro that is still a work in progress:

TL,DR: I made an RPG and wanted to share with Imgur.
