Kurt Wiegel from Game Geeks

I know that I am very late at discovering this, seeing as how I've been playing RPGs for so long, but better late than never.

I was recently shown a video on YouTube about a GM reviewing D&D 4E. Checking a bit further, I found that there was a whole series with more than 90 episodes behind it. In every episode (between 3 and 6 minutes, usually), Kurt Wiegel reviews and introduces one RPG book, seemingly randomly chosen, from any kind of system, be it a core rulebook or a supplement.

This series is a true blessing to anyone who is like me; somebody who loves RPGs, but doesn't really know what's out there, nor has the money to buy lots of books. After watching 25 episodes, I've not only learned a great deal about different genres and settings, and what kinds of different systems there are, but have also found one or two which are really interesting for me, and worth checking out. At the very least, I've been able to search for specific systems which offer freebies or previews.

So really, this series is absolutely wonderful, and is there to give a quick rundown of the various different games out there on the market. Anyone who doesn't quite know what system to play, or which books to get, or is simply interested in the kinds of RPGs available, 'Game Geeks' is a great place to start.
