Hasbro, the Open Games License, and some interesting offers

[ffutures]

As some of you will know, Hasbro are allegedly about to modify the terms of the Open Games license which lets tabletop RPG publishers use the rules system behind D&D (and by now half the other RPGs out there), which is probably going to mean that some games will have to cease publication. This has aroused a lot of interest in RPGs that don't use that system.

One interesting result is that Chosium have just dropped the price of the 400-page PDF version of Basic Role Playing - the percentage-based system behind all of their early games including Runequest, Call of Cthulhu, Superworld, etc. - to 99 cents for the next ten days.

There's actually two different versions with different file sizes, not quite sure why yet.


Another is that there's a bundle of assorted non-OGL games on offer - for fantasy genres like D&D - at a reasonably low price, again for ten days.
