The sheer quantity of games on itch is mind-blowing -- and not just games but game jams, advice documents, SRDs... there's A Lot.

Also, as an itch creator, I'd like to say that the absolute best thing you can do for a game on itch that you like is rate it 5 stars. The more 5-star ratings a game gets, the higher it rises in search results -- and even a single 4-or-lower ranking will utterly bury something.

Anyway, if you're looking for recommendations here are a few of my favourite things which I don't think can be acquired elsewhere:

Beyond the Borderlands is a colourful reimagining of Keep on the Borderlands which I reckon is worth $5 just for the art.

Balikbayan is a Belonging-Outside-Belonging game about being Filipino techno-elementals. It's still probably my favourite thing to come out of RPGSEA in the last few years, although Maharlika is also up there.

Songs for the Dusk is Blades in the Dark retooled to be about hopeful sci-fantasy. It's still in a sort of 'open beta' phase but it's super-playable already.

99c Chamber of Death is one of those microgame things that itch specialises in, where rapping freestyle makes you a more effective warrior. I don't think I could ever play it, but I appreciate that it exists.

And finally this isn't an RPG but if you're looking for a computer dice roller Sophie's Dice is bewilderingly comprehensive. Like, more customisable than anyone is ever likely to need. I think there's even a version you can get for your phone if you want portable.
