Which RPG games depend on the OGL 1.0a?

There are myriad published and unpublished RPG games that depend on the OGL 1.0a. The list here is to get a sense of the games that we might be familiar with, that Hasbro-WotC now threatens with its new OGL 1.1.



13th Age by Fire Opal Media, published under license by Pelgrane Press (OGL)

Castles & Crusades by Troll Lord Games (OGL)

Fate by Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment (OGL and CC-BY 3.0)

Fudge System Reference Document by Grey Ghost Games (OGL)

Gumshoe System by Pelgrane Press (CC-BY-3.0/OGL)

Labyrinth Lord by Goblinoid Games (OGL)

OSRIC by Stuart Marshall and Mathew Finch (OGL)

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game by Paizo (OGL)

Pathfinder 2 Roleplaying Game by Paizo (OGL)



Please add more games to this list. Start going thru your own collections to confirm that the game depends on the OGL 1.0a.

Time for me to eat crow, I had no idea FATE and Gumshoe used WotC's OGL.

Being licensed under is not the same as being dependent on. You only depend on it if your game uses parts of WotC’s Open Game Content (and/or third party OGC that relies on it).

At a minimum anything dual-licensed like Fate should be fine and can just drop the OGL if it no longer is convenient / beneficial to include it.

I think both Everyday Heroes and Green Ronin's Mutants and Masterminds, but not certain.
Edit: I think Green Ronin's True20 as well.

first thank you, this is something we should have started hours maybe a day ago. Good on you for catching it.

second, I think it would be prudent to separate the list into "uses WotC base D&D roll d20 system" and "just uses the license for the game they made up on there own."

Fate Fudge and Gumshoe are not based on WotC mechanics at all they just use the license for there own game.

Also add Mutants and Masterminds.

True20 and the new Renegade games (Gi Joe, Power Rangers, and Transformers) Essence20

Essence20 I laugh the most "Wait, you asked us to do this, you licensed us to do this, now your subsidiary is trying to stop it"

Some games have multiple licenses, and some change with edition. So doublecheck all of these.

Maybe, they have a special license as WOTC did with Lucas for Knights of the Old Republic

Mongoose's Legend, their Trademark-free version of RuneQuest/BRP

And thus some games based on it, like D101 Games' OpenQuest
Until now this list included Delta Green, but they just declared their independence.

True20 and the new Renegade games (Gi Joe, Power Rangers, and Transformers) Essence20

Essence20 I laugh the most "Wait, you asked us to do this, you licensed us to do this, now your subsidiary is trying to stop it"

I don't see any indication that the Transformers RPG is using the OGL, can you point me to the section in the book? (Dungeon Crawl Classics buries it, so I could have missed it.)

EDIT: On that note, Dungeon Crawl Classics is an OGL game (if as minimally as possible).
