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.

Another vote for Pathfinder. I would guess S&W would be up there?

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll;906458What is the most popular and played OGL game? I'm talking about those game rules that have all trademarks and game settings removed from them, and the rules come from an SRD often times.

It sounds like Pathfinder is the answer, but I'm curious as to why the question: is this to be part of a sales pitch of some sort, or is it just idle curiosity? I can't think of any other reason someone would care.

Pathfinder is the obvious nr 1. But I am wondering which one is number 2?

Well, do you mean game with open game content under the OGl, or game based on d20 content released under the OGL. Because if the former, probably Fate core.

My guess would be D&D 3.5.
