Already a work in progress, alautcly.   In my free time I'm slowly moving every mechanic into a SQL server (which will be much quicker once my current contract at work is up). After that's done, I'll convert the site into a .NET and add a filter to each page, allowing people to only show content from X book, or content related to X skill, or content allowed by PFS play.I'm hoping to get it done before this year's PaizoCon, but make no promises.

> A more up-to-date list of open games can be found on the Year of Living Free wiki.

This page collects all the games under an open license like the Open Game License and various Creative Commons Licenses.

Definition: What is an Open License?

This page operates under the following definition:

"An Open License allows the free and perpetual re-use of original material by anybody willing to follow the restrictions of said license, without an explicit contact or negotiation between original author and licensee."

In other words, if something is available under an open license, I can use and re-use it for free, as long as I respect the restrictions laid out in the license, without having to contact the author.

Retroclones

The List:

The following systems are available under an open license and are thus free to use in your own publications. (Though with varying restriction on the use of the material.)
