Does anyone have a list of GOOD RPGS that have been created by RPGMaker? The only one that I know about is "To the Moon". Tools like this are great in theory, but the actual worth is 100% dependent on the quality of the created games.

To the Moon, Always Sometimes Monsters, and Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden are the only ones I'd personally bother with (and the latter just because it's genuinely funny). The bar in that community is pretty low.

OFF (http://offgame.wikia.com/ http://offgame.wikia.com/) and Yume Nikki (http://yumenikki.wikia.com/ http://yumenikki.wikia.com/) are good examples of things you can do with RPG Maker where the result isn't usually called "an RPG Maker game" (or "an RPG", for that matter.)

As far as I can remember I played Vampires Dawn (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampires_Dawn http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampires_Dawn) and liked it back then. One of the games is also available in English. I never played through Polymorphous Perversity but I think it's also a good RPGMaker example.

Luke Watcholz' 'The Way' series is, in my opinion, not only the best RPG Maker game, but one of the best RPGs out there, period. And I played a lot of the SNES classics a teenager. http://www.crestfallen.us/download.html http://www.crestfallen.us/download.html The world of the way is not a sphere or a disk, but a singular path. All humans are nomadic wanderers who travel the Way, though some choose to settle down and build towns and cities; however, the 'rolling mists' eventually come crashing down on stragglers. The protagonist, Rhue, at first appears to fit some standard RPG tropes (he has amnesia and is looking for his lost girlfriend), but as the series progresses, more and more layers of mysteries are revealed. I think the fact the game was mostly created by one guy gives the story a creative coherence you don't quite find even in FFVI or Chrono Trigger.

Legion Saga was the best series (3 games) I've ever seen during my RM2k times. Official site is dead, but you can find some sites where it's available.

Sunset Over Imdahl is one of the best RPGMaker games, in my opinion. Despite being short, it has a solid story. It also does an amazing job breaking away from the traditional tile-based look of all the other RPGMaker games.
