I'll have to see if I can find it again, but I once found a free RPG. IIRC it was a universal system and people would post their own campaign rules/settings. I think there used to be a Dragonball Z rule set, for example.

One that comes to mind is the Nameless RPG. (http://www.bayn.org/nameless/) It's a pen-and-paper RPG system that uses a deck of playing cards in place of dice; geared more towards fast-paced role-playing. There are a couple of different campaigns there, too, such as a Matrix-themed one and a Star Wars one.

Here's the one I was thinking of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzion

The rules can be obtained for free, and some sets of rules as well, but there are also some actual books using this system.

Here's a review I found while looking for it: http://www.rpgblog.org/rpg_blog/2005/04/fuzion_rules_fo.html

You can get the rules here: http://www.thefuze.com/download/fuzion.pdf

The review link says that FATE is the best free RPG. I haven't actually played fuzion (or FATE) but it is free.

Here is a free PDF of rules for a Doctor Who (my personal favorite sci fi franchise...well, on equal footing with the new Battlestar Galactica anyway...) miniatures game. Too bad the creator can't provide miniatures as well...

Before I discovered Heroscape, this was one of the freebie games I was playing. Lots of fun and the wife enjoyed it.

There's also a freebie game of the Stephen King's The Shining on BGG:

I've never printed it or played. Well, I printed the rules. It seemed fun. But Heroscape came along.

*smashes through the door with Skelblade*
"Heeeeeeere's Heroscape!"
