Open source arrived in the pen-and-paper RPG industry back at the turn of the century, when Wizards of the Coast, publisher of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, developed the Open Game License (OGL).

But not everything for Free RPG Day is available as a download, so I've collected five of my favorite open source tabletop games that you can download and play.
