A quite lengthy discussion on the /. that stemmed from a review of the D&D 4th Edition preview books but covers all sorts of gaming related territory. Funny and enlightening in various places: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/04/180224

Universalis sounds rather interesting. More of a ruleset for roundrobin storytelling than a game system. Or maybe I have that backwards. Worth a look: http://www.indie-rpgs.com/ramshead/

All of the Planescape material any cutter could want, and then some. In addition to many fan-created and non-canon bits, this is the home of the official 3/3.5 conversion of the Planescape campaign setting: http://www.planewalker.com . They have a lovely map of Sigil, of course.

Oh and the ORRIC, a fan recreation of First Edition through the OGL, warts and all:
