Das Schwarze Auge (the Dark Eye), a German roleplay system with an extensive world description that reaches down to the colour of the eyes of the baron in small town X. I have books worth ehm... ~ 1000 Euro and I'd rather not count all the live roleplay outfits made for DSA live roleplaying... or else the amount would be really high.

Are you seriously asking this? Like, really?
I GM DnD 3.5 and Pathfinder, and I've played GURPS, Dark Heresy, Traveller, Rogue Trader, FATE, Call of Chtulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, Burning Wheel and plenty of spinoffs or homemade stuff like Adeptus Evangelion (based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, rewrite/adaptation of Dark heresy rules) or Magical Burst (based on Puelli Magi Madoka, an entirely custom system), or even foreign systems that barely are translated to English like Double Cross.
(Don't talk about DnD 4e though, that's trash to me. Making a system MMO-like to please the masses is heresy.)
oWoD (did not care for the new stuff) takes the top rank, followed closely by D&D 3.5 (Forgotten Realms). I've been reading into DnD Next (D&D 5th edition), and it seems to have enough 3.5 in it to be worth using, but 4th edition was garbage.
4th was because Hasbro bought Wizards and wanted to make a more child friendly, computer game compatible version of the game.
Now, if you really want to get into entertaining, and space opera, how about MegaTraveller (and relatives). You just gotta love a game where dying during character generation is a real risk.
I've been playing in and running a 3.5e DnD games lately. The system seems pretty good from what I can tell. I've only played in a few pen and paper games before, but 3.5 has a lot going for it and I am having fun there. I've also played and run some games in one called Ironclaw, which was fun...though some of the systems were odd at times. I do greatly like the way that the health system was done in that game, I like it more than simply having a pool of hitpoints like most games. There was a distinct lack of 'monsters' in the game though... it is supposed to get more social and cloak and dagger, but I ended up having to invent a lot of mobs for dungeon stuff.
Earthdawn was one of my first and favs.. but I gotta say Shadowrun. Sword and Sorcery meets Cyberpunk. Always played the high tech, millionaire playboy who hired enough goons and threw enough cash around to get out of most trouble. That, and Decker was such a cool and fairly unique class.
0.0 Be excellent to one another. Consider the people around you. Keep fair play in mind.
Bought my first own Warhammer 40k books that is in the mail right now. The new trio package that has the core rule book, history book with pics, and one for how to collect and paint the army models. Also bought the Ork Codex. Who knows, maybe in 2 more yrs I'll have finished buying and painting the units. I always wanted to get into this game but it's not a cheap hobby.
