About
A list of tabletop aka pen and paper RPG games, systems, and other resources.
This contains only free/libre/open source references and must allow commerical
distribution. While the game might have related non-free material, it must have
a free/libre System Reference Document (SRD).
Note about historic differenence from software
Much of the tabletop RPG culture varies from free software. Wizards of the Coast, a game company, released Dungeons and Dragons Version 3 under the Open Gaming License which gave other companies the ability to release compatible game materials.
