SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

For starters my favorite (I'm biased I started playing with the best Star Wars game ever) : WEG's OpenD6 Adventure, Fantasy & Space
Edited to add the "Official" OpenD6 SRD

EDIT: 06/28/19 Removed the OpenQuest links because of this
Quote from: Armchair Gamer;1093935From this description, it sounds like they're challenging stuff that Mongoose released to the OGL when the latter was licensing Runequest from them, on the grounds that Mongoose had no rights to do so.

Quote from: BrokenCounsel;1093937Yeah. There's this on the Chaosium boards. https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/9809-just-a-reminder-there-is-no-ogl-for-brp-rq-or-coc/
I didn't even know that Mongoose did a Runequest game.

Fuzion/Hero Action! System OGL Pack & Action! System Core Rules Full Version Also:
Open Core Role Playing System Classic & its sister anime book Open Anime

And lets not forget a system that has been in everybody's mind lately:
QuoteInterlock Unlimited IS free but not under the OGL (Sorry)

I know I must have forgotten some, feel free to add yours.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Excellent!

His D100II SRD link is a 404 I think it should be the same I linked as Open quest Developers Kit?
Also his OpenD6 SRD is great but. There's an "official" one easier to navigate. And the OpenD6 in my original post has the legal PDFs separated by genre.

Thanks! I've put in updates for D100II and added OpenQuest.

That list had been 7 years old -- so if you know of more additions or corrections, I'd be glad to take them.

Thanks. It looks like there's more at the Open Gaming Network. Though many of the docs are sucky for downloading or editing as documents.

EDITED TO ADD:

Also, Cepheus Engine in PDF is on Drivethru,

Quote from: David Johansen;1093726Is JAGS open?
According to the core page, JAGS Revised is not open, but it has a lite version (JAGS-2) that is released under the GNU Free Documentation License. (Not compatible with the WotC OGL.)

https://www.jagsrpg.com/about

QuoteJAGS (Just Another Gaming System) is a free, universal table-top traditional roleplaying game. It was first published in 2001 and has undergone a couple of revisions along the way. The JAGS Team is committed to producing high quality, hopefully well thought-out roleplaying material with good production values and our best attempt at giving you highly gameable material for endless adventures!

JAGS-2 is a "lite" version of the game that is compatible and licensed under the FDL (open source).

I don't believe this has an open license. I think Mike just gave Deric permission to refine, remix and share his work for free on the InterTubes...

Thanks, you are correct, it's free but not libre.

Arcamum was released under some sort of CC license

http://zila-games.com/arcanum-srd/

I'm not well versed in the CC license, but I think it's just sharing, not commercial works.

It's Share-Alike (CC BY-SA 4.0), so it technically allows commercial works, but if you make a derivative work, anyone can make a copy of your derivative work and share it for free. So not very useful to most commercial developers.
