RPGs are art that you either love or hate. But everyone can agree that the level of creativeness and adventure each has goes beyond most games. Each is a fantasy composed of its own language, worlds, and mythical characters. They can span years or even centuries; realms or dimensions. So while they are an acquired taste, none fail to impress. These are the top fifteen that will get that sh*t done!
