Hey all,
Ricky here,
I've compiled a small list of some free or interesting tabletop rpgs from around the world that you may or may not know about.
If you don't see one on here you think should be, leave me a message and I'll add it!

The last rpg by the late E. Gary Gygax. I own this one. It is personally my favorite fantasy RPG. Very excellent work, but would you expect any less?
Labyrinth Lord

http://www.goblinoidgames.com/ll001.zip - PDF of book.
http://www.goblinoidgames.com/ll001a.zip - PDF of book, alternate cover, I like this one better.
An oldschool RPG thats free in PDF form, or you can buy it in hardback. If we run an oldschool game in my group again, it'll probaly be this one!
Basic Fantasy RPG

http://basicfantasy.org/download.cgi/Basic-Fantasy-RPG-Rules-r73.pdf - Core Rules
Not much personal experience with it, I hear its old school and also hear its pretty good.
FUDGE

I played this once about 4 or so years ago on a very quick pickup game. I remember it being fun, but I only played in a session or two and didn't have time to devote to it.
Final Fantasy the Tabletop RPG
http://returnergames.com/ - Main Site

Gurps was one of the earlier generic universal systems out there. A good system.
Paizo's Pathfinder
http://paizo.com/pathfinder - Main site
http://paizo.com/store/downloads/pathfinderRPG - Download area
I've seen on various forums people refer to this as D&D 3.8, what D&D 4e should have been. Whatever your school of thought on the subject, from the majority of information I've seen online this is very valid successor to D&D 3.5 if you want to stay in that system instead of diving into 4e.
Tales from the Wood
"Tales from the Wood" from Beyond Belief Games http://www.geocities.com/talesfromthewood/. the pay for version is almost free at $2 but they do have an earlier version available for free. This is definitely an interesting game.
