Here is a short list of indie games that were fun to read, but not that clear on the rules (I still like them, but they were just hard to figure out how to play):
??? Spirit of the Century (400 pages, and I am still confused..., but it looks so fucking cool!)
??? Best Friends (he needs to revise this game)
??? Esoterroists (that kind of includes Trail of Cthulu too) the point spending parts of the investigation skills is what is confusing to me (the rest is easy).
??? My Life With Master (I still can not figure out how this is supposed to be run)
??? Prime Time Adventures (we stumbled through three games before giving up... fun, though)
Robin Laws was the first author that showed me you can put the description of combat in the rules of the game (feng shui) and Vincent showed me you can aply that concept with everything (Dogs). So you two have a special place in my heart.
