Share a Game 
This initiative was conceived by stainlesssteelrat in the thread Share a Game for a Week. The idea is that a user that is knowledge about a particular game volunteers to discuss the game and answer any questions about that game for the period of a week.
The threads are not locked, so given the list below you can still ask questions in the relevant threads, although you are only guaranteed a quick response during the week in question.
Share a Game participants are also eligible for this exclusive microbadge:  . You can see the owners of this badge at: http://rpggeek.com/microbadge/20995
There is also a dedicated GeekList: Share a Game
Games that have been Shared
This table lists all games that have already been shared, along with links to the appropriate thread and noting who hosted the game and when it was shared.
List of Volunteers

I'm the designer of the game, and would love to host a thread about it any time after May 23 -- when the final version finally goes up for sale!

Fantasy Craft

I'm currently running Fantasy Craft. I have also played many indie RPGs, but those tend to be one-shots, so I may not be the best source of info (Kagematsu, Shab Al-Hiri Roach, Fiasco, Penny For My Thoughts, Contenders, etc). My main game for many years was D&D 3E, but there may not be much interest, since it has essentially been eclipsed by Pathfinder.

D&D 3.5
|
These are the games in which I'd consider myself an expert. I could also drone on about most of the FATE games, though with less authority.
|

|
AD&D 2e, Dragonlance: Fifth Age, Monsters & Other Childish Things, Star Trek Roleplaying (FASA), BESM 2nd Ed Revised
|
Like vestige, these are the ones I'm quite familiar with, but I'd also be happy to talk about Legends of Anglerre if there's interest.
|

Scion, Exalted (2nd Edition), World of Darkness (nWoD) (including all individual RPG lines), Mage: The Ascension (2nd Ed Revised), Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse (2nd Ed Revised), Vampire: The Masquerade (2nd Ed Revised), Shadowrun 4th Edition, GURPS 3rd Edition

I can cover of a number of smaller LARP systems - Nyctophobia, GunFest, Serenity, Winter Kingdoms. I've passing familiarity with LT and maelstrom as well. Might make sense to do a shared session with any other larpers who know these systems better and discuss (UK)LARP in general as suggested by vestige in Don't Fear the LARP book?

SLA Industries, Fading Suns
|
Give me a heads up on Fading Suns, as there is a lot of reference material to talk about.
|
ealdrich
|
GURPS 4th ed, AD&D 1st ed, GURPS 3rd ed
|
Any time except during Memorial or Labor Day weekend. Maybe Rindis and I can co-host something (I can cover Basic D&D if it's the Holmes edition)
|
rindis
|
GURPS 4th ed, GURPS 3rd ed, Basic Dungeons & Dragons, AD&D 1st ed
|
Maybe me and ealdrich could co-host something. ;) I'm not the biggest expert on any of those, but I can still semi-intelligently talk my head off about them.

In case anyone wants a change of pace from "Share a Game", I could "Share a Genre"!

|
Any time, though advance warning always helps

Whenever needed - some lead time appreciated.

Dogs in the Vineyard, Hollow Earth Expedition, Eclipse Phase, D&D

I can do pretty much any version of D&D other than 3.x; though I think this isn't needed given the point of the share-a-game initiative as a way to introduce people to the lesser known games (at least, as I understand it). Also, I would rather do this towards the end of 2011 rather than sooner.
