What about games without English versions? I have seen a few here, but wouldn't it be easier to add these after the launch of RPGGeek.com? There are a few Hungarian ones, but I think it won't be easy for the admins to provide information about them before launch.
Well, anyway:
M.A.G.U.S.
Codex
Harc és varázslat
Armageddon 2092
Edit: more at http://www.rpg.net/realm/world/hungary.html. It's a historical account of RPGs in Hungary, but I couldn't find any more info in English.

I'm asuming you don't only want english games, so here goes;
- The already mentioned Drakar och Demoner ("Dragons and Demons") by Äventyrsspel. This is not a swedish veersion of Dungeons and Dragons, but the name is quite possibly inspired by it.
- Expansion boxes to the above (if "boxes" is your way to tell one game from another); Drakar och Demoner Expert, Drakar och Demoner Gigant, Drakar och Demoner Ereb Altor.
- Mutant by äventyrsspel. Post apocalyptic, with both future technology and more midieval stuff. Also mutated animals like TMNT, although I do think Mutant predates them. Maybe.
- Sagan om Ringen by Äventyrsspel. This is Lords of the Rings, but I do believe the system was swedish developed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
- Western by... someone. Not sure if this is swedish or not, but I couldn't see it on the list under this name, anyway.

Yes, they are to be included.
Quote: IMO, they should not be listed as "systems" in their own right unless you are also going to list every GURPS worldbook as it's own "system".
System is culled out into a seperate page. So all of the games that use that system can link to it just as we do with the flavors of GURPSs. It's not worth discussing here - but it's logical.
Quote: It would be far more accurate to list GURPS thusly;
I won't get into it too deeply here, but the GURPS discussion took days. And was draining. Given that we must try and retain some strict hierarchical nature to the database we have decided to list things like the collections of "GURPS Conan" and "GURPS WWII" as their own [game] entries. The "GURPS Conan" books are, techanically, not games in the same way that "GURPS (Third Edition)" is - they are really sourcebooks. "GURPS WWII" is a bit different as it contains the streamlined Third Edition rules (GURPS3 Lite) so is self contained. But a [game] to us is also a box - and these boxes can be downlinked to items (books, minis, dice, etc - all the things you put in a box) and uplinked to families. We wanted to have GURPS Conan be part of of the Conan family and the GURPS family (and there are more extreme examples within the GURPS line of this kind of cross pollination). While we have other ways to group things (by series/setting), there was no clean way to deal with some of the GURPS conversions. So we did our best - the thinking is not fixed in stone but nor is it likely to change given the lengthy discussions of issues surrounding this complex GURPS family.
I appreciate the suggestions and your thoughtfulness here.

As a long-tme player of the Basic sets, I can assure you they do 
Though I agree it could be somewhat collapsed, but not totally. There wre no expert rules in Basic 2nd and some of the later modules needed those rules. Anyway, we can link items to more than one game - so B2: Keep on the Borderlands can be linked to the basic sets 2nd - 5th as needed while others would link to 3rd-5th. A few other special cases exist as well - we feel cleaner having them separated out - we can always collapse them later.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

As an "expert" player of both, I can assure you they will never be merged
Our rule is that they must be 98.3% compatible to be merged - early 3rd edition stuff doesn't mesh well with 3.5 stuff as well as you might think. Later stuff was "closer". There is a 20 page conversion book that we decided was greater than 1.7% compability difference.
Remember, however, items can be linked to more than one game. Some late 3rd edition material as well as material which doesn't depend heavily on the rules can be linked to both.

The number of "games" per your definition is many, many times the ones you have now. Do you need them all before going live? I thought they'd sort of be added just as new board games are added to BGG.
Here goes a couple of Swedish roleplaying games:
EDITED: As I was requested to find more information, this was pretty heavily overhauled.
First we have the Swedish staple RPG: Drakar och Demoner. From what I have known, there are not 3 but 4 (maybe 5) noticably different editions:
Drakar och Demoner (1 and 2e very similar) (Target Games)
Drakar och Demoner Expert (3e and 4e and arguably 5e) (Target Games)
Drakar och Demoner 6th edition (Riotminds)
Drakar och Demoner Trudvang (Riotminds)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakar_och_Demoner and http://www.riotminds.com/
At the same time as first "Drakar" there was "Mutant" - a post-apocalyptic setting, where humanity had reverted to pre-industrial revolution technology, but mutations from the war and old technology was still mixed. I LOVED this setting, and it's still my favourite:
Mutant (Target games)
Mutant 2089 (a more cyberpunk setting) (Target Games)
Mutant Rymd (Mutant space, this was subsequently transformed into Mutant Chronicles) (Target Games)
Mutant - Undergångens arvtagare (A pull-back to the original setting) (Järnringen)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_(role-playing_game) and http://www.mutant.nu/
At the same time there was also Chock, a horror-themed RPG, a translation of "Chill" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chill_(role-playing_game)
Viking - a realistic Viking RPG now available as free PDF: http://www.trollspel.se/
Western (Rävspel) http://www.rollspel.com/engelsk/western/ewestern.htm
Gondica (Rävspel) A heroic fantasy-setting http://www.rollspel.com/gondica/gondica.htm
Eon (NeoGames) - the top-notch Swedish roleplaying game of modern age There are three editions available but all are similar http://www.neogames.se/eon.htm
Neotech (NeoGames) - futuristic realistic roleplaying http://www.neogames.se/neotech.htm
Noir (NeoGames) - award-winning dystopic roleplaying game http://www.noir.nu/
Svenil (Svenil Games) small-press humoristic roleplaying game, set in a typical "Swedish comic book" setting: http://svenil.sverok.net/
Västmark (Rävsvans förlag) - fairy-tale type fantasy roleplaying http://www.foxtail.nu/index.php
Skymningshem: Andra Imperiet - science fiction http://www.foxtail.nu/index.php?option=com_content&task=sect...
Playelf (small press)- chauvinist kobold-nostalgic fantasy RPG: http://www.foxtail.nu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view...
A couple of Japanese ones
Blade of Arcana (Enterbrain) - very heroic fantasy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_of_Arcana
The "Monster maker" RPGs are based on the same world, the same characters, but have very different rulesets. Monster Maker started out as card games that are featured here on BGG.
Monster Maker RPG Holy axe (Fujimi) - just a pocket book. I can't find a link.
Monster Maker Resurrection (Enterbrain) http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/product/mook/mook/02272801.html
Monster Maker Legend (Kokusai Tsushin) http://www.kokusaig.co.jp/mmrpg_legend/home.html
MAGIUS (simple base system to be used by any setting)
plus a lot of book-only anime-based RPGs by Fujimi shobo, that I find I'll just add once RPGGeek goes live.

We don't need them all, no. But the hierarchy of the RPG world is... challenging. And we are trying hard to have consistancy (something a few of the other RPG sites seems to lack) in the listings. So, at least initially and possibly forever, the user community will only be able to create and edit RPG items. That is... entering books, miniature sets, images, session reports, reviews, and probably things like [series] (eg G1,G2,G3 - Against the Giants) and [setting] (eg Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, etc).
The [game], [system] and [family] entries will be tightly controlled so that we can maintain some semblence of order
With that in mind, we feel that this is an exreme case of the 80/20 rule. That is, we feel that 80% of the RPGs people are going to want to add item content for, discuss and add to their collections will be contained in 20% of the games out there. Don't worry, there will be (as Derk likes to say) a metric buttload of content for you to add once we go live

Based on the description from the publisher:
Quote: How We Came to Live Here is a fantasy game based on the mythology of the American Southwest. This game tells the stories of powerful but flawed heroes. Your characters should be able to grow in power and perform epic deeds. They will also have to choose between the many paths available to them, and they will not be able to achieve all that they desire. The village will be beset by monsters and other dangers, and you must combat these while navigating the treacherous relationships within the village itself.
It looks very RPG-ish and belongs in our database. I'm not familar with it, but based on a quick glance, it feels like it should be listed as a [game]. If the system it uses is common to other games, it can be extracted out.
