Support for more RPGs

I am a fan of the mainstream RPGs, sure, but would it be possible to support the less well-known ones? One specific game that comes to mind is PARANOIA, a game that isn't even listed in your search suggestions. I'd recommend this as, doing a quick search through the forums in general, PARANOIA seems to have a small but present following. Of course, PARANOIA isn't the only underrepresented game, I'm sure, but it's the one that came to mind. Thoughts?
A lot of people agree for some type of reworking on the listings for systems. But currently the devs have a set way and its effective but not friendly. PARANOIA needs a biggerfollowing with games going all the time to warrant it. Or else its Other Games.

Roll20 does not "support" games. Roll20 is system agnostic. To expand upon what Jake stated regarding the LFG listings, the previous system allowed people to put in any names they want. This created many problems because in order to search for a single game you had to search for all of it's name variations as well. Example: D&D, DnD, Dungeons and Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons, etc. The current LFG listing system lists only the most commonly played game systems and all other game systems fall under the "Other Games" category. For games not listed you should use that category and put the name of your game in the title or the description. If a game has enough of a following where there is always a listing for it then the Devs will consider adding it to the permanent list.
Would it be possible to add a secondary portion when choosing "Other" that would type a game name, that way other people could search other, in general, and just see a listing of less played systems or search other:system x and only get games that fit the that system? Alternatively, would it be possible to add a taggs system to games?
Tags are in place already for games.
Rate-a-Player said: Tags are in place already for games. True, but they don't seem to make an explicit appearance in the LFG filters or listings. There's technically a keywords box, but I've always assumed that applies to the description section.

you can use the tags in the keyword search. They show up there.
Sure, but so does the description text, which makes the tags a lot less useful.
