the game quickly gained a reputation as an alternative to Dungeons & Dragons that was both much simpler mechanically and far more colorful in tone. The settings is rich. There is many books, All are illustrated. All used to be sold, and are now all free. It is a wonderfull game.

Note: there is a fantasy book, a book for magic, another for modern game...

Risus

Risus is a complete Role Playing Game (RPG) designed to provide an "RPG Lite" for those nights when the brain is too tired for exacting detail. Risus is especially valuable to GMs assembling a quick convention game, or any late-night beer-and-pretzels outing. While it is essentially a Universal Comedy System, it works just as well for serious play (if you insist!). Best of all, a Risus character takes about 20 seconds to create!

There is a pokemon RPG that is currently in the Beta stage and is free

Arts Magica 4th edition

It is set in a mythic version of medieval Europe, and the PCs are magicians who gather in secret covenants to learn their Art. It includes a highly in-depth magic system widely regarded as a classic of design. Arts magica is trying to keep it's fanbase strong, so they sell the 5th edition, but they give the 4th! You will need to create a account to the Steve Jackson Games Store in order to get the download link. Once again, a professional RPG, 272 page of goodness.
