Everyone is posting my Pirate Borg game although it is sporadic. There's probably three or four stages and they are about done with the first. Now things get interesting as the PCs have lost their ship and maybe their captain.

What is your version of Appendix N?
A list of authors/media that influences your games and worlds.
Is it different per genre or system?

Of the systems you own/play, what is the rarest (be it in print or general lack of conversation about it)?

What's the most complex system you would be willing to run regularly?
Does that willingness change if you have to teach at least one new player every time you run it?

Depends vastly. If a ruleset has a specific condition to learn a new skill I'll usually go with that (like WFRP 2e's career system, where your career can only buff/give you so many skills before swapping to something else).
But in systems where you buy just any skills with exp directly (WoD as an example) I don't particularly care if someone just shows up with a new skill? I don't really require that it is justified unless it's something extremely strong (but that usually leaves the 'skill' area and becomes 'feature' or 'ability' or some other fancy word).

These are my favorites to give, for sure.
"Actualization", would be another fun one- like a warforged becoming a human, anything that can make someones body into something they're far more comfortable with. From transgender allegories to actual transgender characters to "Hey, you're a dragon now!" but that sort of thing always needs to be planned out specifically with the player.
Now, things I have gotten as a player... Pets are fun, magic items are fun (of which my favorite would be the 'mourning star' mace my stars druid has, 1d6+dex B+1d6 radiant, has an ability that can buff all other allies within 30ft to do +1d4 radiant damage every hit (not that big, but flavorful)). Property is fun.
