The Great List of Open License RPGs

Sounds good! Noted for the future.

I’ve:

  • Changed the link for The GLOG Hack (it was for the Italian edition) and added its description
  • Changed the link for Whitebox (it was for the Italian edition), fixed the title and added its description
  • Added two editions of Basic Fantasy RPG (they have different licenses, so I’ve placed them in two different places)
3 Appreciations

Updated the descriptions for DURF, Ironsworn, Minimald6, Trophy and the D&D 5.1 SRD, and added Opening The Dark, Caltrop Core, Capers, Iron Falcon, and Dominion Rules!

3 Appreciations

Added descriptions (and some small branding tweaks) for:

Circles of Power
GUMSHOE
Legacy
Masks: A New Generation
Resistance Toolbox
Wretched and Alone

I had a question about Legacy. The game itself is formally called Legacy: Life Among the Ruins, but the SRD is called The World of Legacy (the difference being analogous to the difference between Blades in the Dark and Forged in the Dark). I didn’t update the title on this one since it would seriously alter the alphabetical ordering. :laughing: But is there a standard we want to follow regarding game name vs. SRD name?

That’s a good question. I guess, let’s go with the SRD title, if it’s different (that’s the actual work that’s released under a free culture license), however let’s also mention the commercial title of the game right next to it in the description.

I’ve added my own version of The Pool, linking the other thread.

Added descriptions for Fantasy World, Grok?!, In the Light of a Ghost Star, and Lady Blackbird.

This (putting the license name/link and putting the game name in the description) is what I did for the Pelgrane 13th Age license/SRD. It makes sense because then we can (for example) put games that branch off of a particular OGL under that one. (For example I think a lot of D20 era OGL games would benefit from being grouped together under D&D 3/3.5.)

2 Appreciations

Added:

  • Basic and Generic
  • D&D 3, 3.5, Pathfinder 1 and 2 (though 2 is in a transition to a new license)
  • Basic Roleplaying (similarly to Pathfinder 2 above, it may soon be moving to ORC, or already has)
  • EABA
  • Cypher
  • Crazy 8s
2 Appreciations

As promised/threatened, I added several “total conversion” D20 era games as well as several that more or less completely dedicated themselves to open content (Mars jumps out here.) I also found the Year Zero licensing agreement and added it.

Edit: Of course right after I did this I remembered Active Exploits, hunted it down and added it.

The original description of Trophy made it sound like Cthulhu Dark was based on it, whereas in fact it’s the other way around. I adjusted the text to reflect this (and added Trophy Gold). Just a tiny nitpick, but why not be accurate!

Whoops! Mistake on my part, thanks for the correction

1 Appreciation

Understood! I’ve updated the entry accordingly.

2 Appreciations

I’ve updated the link and added a description to Paladin

I updated some descriptions and fixed some minor errors (i.e. Iron Falcon is a OD&D retroclone, not AD&D)

1 Appreciation

I put the bullet points back on the “sub-D&D3 OGL” game list; they’re games that fall into the subcategory defined in the D&D3/3.5/Pathfinder/Starfinder category above.

2 Appreciations

Added a description for The Plant.

Sorry to underline that SCP RPG, while based on CC material, it is indeed not, except for information taken directly from the SCP Foundation wiki
