Hi! I recommend for the list Fantastic Medieval Campaigns by TraverseFantasy (i.e. the blogger Marcia)
It’s s CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 rewrite of Original D&D 1974.It’s neither a retroclone nor a neoclone. They are the exact same rules rewritten abandoning the Gygaxian jargon and including also the Chainmail rules.
Pathfinder 2 raises the question, should we put games that are under two licenses in both categories? It was originally released under the OGL 1.0a, but may soon (or may already) be moved under ORC.
Edit: Forgot to mention I added a bunch of PBTA games that had been released under various CC licenses.
I think inserting them twice in the list is fine. If a particular license combination is popular, we’ll make it it’s own section.
In case of license changes, such as BFRPG, I’ve put one entry for each license.
Added links to the text of the various legal documents comprising the licenses, as well as a few RPGs scattered here and there. Added Basic Roleplaying to the new ORC section, Black Seven, etc.
We have now reached the character limit on the wiki entry. So here’s some more for eventual integraiton if we migrate this elsewhere:
Mythic Mortals - A game about the players gaining supernatural powers.
Purplest Prose - A “trashy game about trashy writers”
Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - A romance game about monsters.
The Dying World - A game about collapsing multiverses.
Stand Up - Inspired by Belonging Outside Belonging and Persona 5, a game of rebellion against injustice.
Touched by Evil - a Horror game focusing on unease and dread.
Brass, Blood and Steam - A steampunk early Fate/Spirit of the Century game.
Fear of the Unknown - A 2d6 +tag based horror game, with permission to make new Fear of the Unknown material, even commercially, with credit to the original.
Uneasy Lies the Head - “Feel free to hack these rules, just credit me!” A GMless game about a tumultuous royal court.
Visigoths v. Mall Goths - “You may use the rules of Visigoths v. Mall Goths to create your own game with original content.” A comedy game about a group of visigoths lost in time who end up in a 1990s mall.
Wow, I didn’t even know that was possible!
I’ll need to inform myself on how to proceed.
So I’ve been going through my Trophy-powered and Tunnel-Goons-powered games and considering how to import them; should we do something like I did for the “d20 era d20 games” above, and only list those that are more or less “total conversions”?
Should we pull these out (including the d20 era d20 games) into new posts rather than leaving them underneath the “parent game” like I did with D&D3?
Or are these too small to pursue?
It makes sense to me. But I still haven’t had time to research alternatives for the wiki post.
