Stop telling me to boycott WotC. If you support open gaming, tell who to support. (+ thread)

[QUOTE="Jerik, post: 8887117, member: 7039785"] A few other open games I haven't seen mentioned (though maybe they were and I missed them): [LIST] [*][URL='http://dominionrules.org']Dominion Rules[/URL] - AFAIK the first RPG to be released under an open license, predating the OGL; now available for free online (though you can buy a print copy on Lulu if you want to support the creators) [*][URL='https://www.btrc.net/']EABA[/URL] - Sort of similar to the HERO/Champions system; includes a custom Open Supplement License [*][URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/341/Crafty-Games/subcategory/562_5027/Fantasy-Craft']FantasyCraft[/URL] - Not currently in print, but available in PDF form from DriveThruRPG. (The company is still around, but currently focusing on other things, though there's talk of a new edition eventually.) Licensed by the OGL 1.0, though, so might be in trouble. [*][URL='https://openlegendrpg.com/']Open Legend[/URL] - An "open source RPG". I haven't really looked into this one, so I can't say much about it except that it exists. [*][URL='http://www.woinrpg.com/']What's OLD is NEW[/URL] - A bit surprised not to see this one mentioned here, since it's actually published by EN Publishing. Again, though, it's released under the OGL 1.0—but AFAIK it doesn't use any WotC SRD content, so that can presumably be changed. [*][URL='https://www.atlas-games.com/otelegacy#warped/']The Wanton Role-Playing System[/URL] - The system behind the Over the Edge RPG has now been released as open content—though, again, under the OGL 1.0, but again it doesn't have any WotC SRD content. [*][URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/29196/Myriad-RPG-System']Myriad RPG System[/URL] - Advertises itself a toolbox rather than a self-contained RPG, but explicitly says "you can incorporate Myriad into your own books and products free of charge, even for commercial ventures". [/LIST] This isn't exhaustive; there are, for instance, a lot of small indie RPGs on itch.io that explicitly grant the right for anyone to make supplements based on them. [/QUOTE]
