I have a bit of a crush on the Fate system, I’m not going to lie. While I may not be a fan, I can’t deny that the d20 system is flexible enough to handle just about anything you want to throw at it. There’s a number of fan creations for the d20 system as well, ranging from Final Fantasy (see below) to Mass Effect. Some SRDs include Pathfinder (often called “D&D 3.75”), Mutants and Masterminds (a superhero game using the d20 system), and the classic d20 SRD for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. They have everything you need to run and play the game with the exception of setting-specific information that is protected under copyright. The top resources for it are caused by what are called System Reference Documents. That said, I can’t deny that it changed the way people view roleplaying games, and it brought in a new generation of gamers due to it’s versatility. I’ve never been a fan of the number crunch and the power creep it entails. I’ll be the first to say that I abhor the d20 system. As someone who’s been doing this on the cheap for some time, I think I can share a few resources that may catch your eye. I mean legitimate free RPGs that are readily available for download, consumption, and play. This is where free games come in, and I don’t mean (or condone) pirating. Perhaps there are more fans of The Princess Bride than Star Wars? My 7th Sea books, on the other hand, seem to ALWAYS get use. I had some fun, but the Star Wars collection didn’t get the mileage I was hoping for with the price I paid. While RPGs are great and some are worth every penny (I’ve gotten more than my money’s worth out of my classic World of Darkness and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons collections), they are a bit pricey if you want to play more than one, and the expansions/splatbooks make it rather cost prohibitive to stay up to date (I’m looking at FFG’s Star Wars and the Dungeons and Dragons lines here). If you are anything like me, you are either too broke to keep buying books or you live too far away from shops that are taking part of the festivities.or some combination of the two. In honor of Free RPG Day 2016 this coming Saturday, I thought I’d take the chance to give you all links to free RPGs that are free at all times and not just one day a year.
