Maybe include a decoder ring for those of us that do not follow enough to know what those mean.

 

[W'rkncacnter]

a5e got released under the ORC?

EDIT: oh yeah, no, it's right there on the A5ESRD page. alright, must've missed that before then.

3.5 and PF 1e by OGL (and a ton of others).
PF 2e as well?

3.5 and PF 1e by OGL (and a ton of others).
PF 2e as well?

Yeah, there are a lot of OGL games. I wasn't really thinking about those because it isn't really a viable license these days, but for completeness they should probably go on the list.

 

[Ulfgeir]

Wasn't Eclipse Phase 1e released under a CC-licence? I think 2e is as well. but not sure.

 

[Wofano Wotanto]

I believe 1st edition 13th Age is OGL, but I might be mistaken. King of Dungeons certainly uses a modified version of the engine - technically the "Archmage Engine" in the SRD.

 

[Thomas Shey]

Wasn't Eclipse Phase 1e released under a CC-licence? I think 2e is as well. but not sure.

Absolutely with 1e, and I believe you're right with 2e, let me check...Yeah, its the CCL with some rights reserved.

Here's a few I can think of.

Forged in the Dark from Blades in the Dark.
Paragon System from Agon.
Resistance System from Spire: The City Must Fall

They're all creative commons licenses, I believe. Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Modos RPG, creative commons.

The rules are open licensed. The lists (skills, perks, powers, NPCs, gear) are not, but they are free in case you want examples.
