Top 5 FREE TableTop RPGs

[@BerserkxELF943]

Tricube is the one of these I had the most fun with that I've played.

[@tartoflan]

Thanks for making me discover tricube tales. Exactly what I needed to save my next RPG session!

[@mikeharrison6039]

I recommend the RPGs Stars Without Number and Worlds Without Number. The free pdf versions of the games are actually most of the book

[@BerserkxELF943]

But not all?

[@mikeharrison6039]

@@BerserkxELF943 it has everything you need to play but the paid version includes some extra content like space magic and transhumanism

[@BerserkxELF943]

@@mikeharrison6039 interesting, good to know thanks

[@alexwilson9881]

Stars Without Number and Worlds Without Number should absolutely be an the list (sure, there is some non-essential extra bonus stuff you get in the paid version, but if D&D basic rules meet the criteria, then so does SWN/WWN). Best sandbox toolkits out there, and good systems, too.

[@Darkpegasus849]

I just bought Tricube Tales, thanks for the recomendations, i wast intersted in cypher sistem but i wanted a more elegant system that doesnt required a huge character sheet that scared the normal people

[@SerpC]

FU, Risus, and Lady Blackbird are also free and really good.

[@mr7oclock346]

Thanks for introducing me to Tricube adventures. It really reminds me of a streamlined version of Open D6. I have seen that online for free. it would be worth reviewing. I have a minimalist GM kit for gaming, and Tricube works out great if I feel like running a quick solo session sometime.

[@MemphiStig]

I haven't heard of the last two but I will check them out. Thanks!

The creators of Holy Lands RPG are allowing people to share PDFs of 2nd edition, now that 4th edition is available for purchase.

[@nohi3619]

Would Pathfinder 2e be considered a free ttrpg? Because if it would, then I’d totally include it here as well

[@jacobmurphy3045]

Fantastic and informative! ty sir!

[@2000TalesRolePlaying]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@machfront]

Not free, but just as low-cost as BFG: WhiteBox:Medieval Adventure Game. A solid and easy and super fast iteration of original D&D. Crazy malleable (obviously), and compatible with just about anything from 1974 to 1999…and easy for ‘beyond’ as well, if ya like.

[@03dashk64]

…I am very confused by 5e basic being included. It’s not the full rules. It’s a quick start. Sure, you can play it, but it is a paired down rule set to get you to buy the complete rules. Seems to contradict your own rules? You say it meets the requirements, but it doesn’t? Unless “complete game” just means it has conflict resolution mechanics. Then, yeah it does. You’re right. But compared to your other suggestions, it is so bare bones. Something like Stars Without Numbers / Godbound / Worlds Without Numbers would fit the bill so much better But the rest of your suggestions are great! Fate is one of my favorite systems ever created.

[@chrisessick7192]

I immediately thought the same thing. Like no SRDs no QuickStarts, then literally pulls up a QuickStart ruleset.

[@jpaganeng]

Can you make a video with top 5 FREE solo RPGs?

[@2000TalesRolePlaying]

I'll be honest, I'm not well versed enough in solo RPGs to feel like my input would be helpful haha

[@PatricioINTP]

I was hopping for Ironsworn as a mention, as the main game does follow his rules (its supplement Delve and space setting sequel Starforged is not free) and can be played either solo, 1 player and GM, or a typical party. If you haven’t heard of it, look it up.

[@christianlajoie5648]

No love 4 Ars Magica ? The rulebook is free in PDF.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

What do you think about Dungeons & Glory by One Page Rules?

[@shadowandmovies5684]

Ironsworn is also free

[@mistunkpodcast]

The link to the 5e Basic Rules doesn't work, it just takes me to the dnd beyond website.

[@2000TalesRolePlaying]

Yea Wizards of the Coast has sadly redirected the links now

[@holedplot]

DEGENESIS is a Beast of a Game that shouldn't be but is 100% free, including it's supplements.

[@2000TalesRolePlaying]

I’ll have to check that one out

[@chrislundgren182]

OSRIC AD&D is 100% unless you want to get it on print on demand on LULU.

[@lucasl8174]

My life spam is not lenghty enough for a full Eclipse Phase tablet where everyone reads the books

[@MechaTrekAD]

These aren't free games. These are purchasable games with trimmed down free versions. Is that what you meant? 'Cause none of these would be what I think when I think of free games.

[@TheZeanti]

Exactly this

[@anfiach]

Basic is not a full game any more than a quickstart is. There are a lot of free to play games out there that aren't D&D derivatives or creations of your acquaintances. Talislanta's entire library of books are free; Open Legend is free; Ironsworn is free, and on and on ad nauseum. I feel like you didn't give much effort to making your list, unless it was a way to promote your friend's work? You are capable of doing better than this. (This is intended to be constructive criticism, I'm not bashing you). Thanks for the video.

[@truant2827]

This comment sucks if you're referring to basic. Maybe tricube tales that he referenced. On top of the core rulebook for BF, every single module, class, item and every other supplement is FREE and WORKS. If you meant tricube and not basic than I apologize. But otherwise this comment sucks and you're just mad that he didn't refer to a game that YOUR friends made.

[@truant2827]

And you're just subjectively saying that he's low effort and picked a bunch of games of friends that he's friends with. Constructive example "I feel like tricube technically isn't free and there may have been some bias when picking that one. It seems more like a thin supplement to other games that I wouldn't have put in here".

[@anfiach]

@@truant2827 he didn't need you to defend him.

[@truant2827]

@@anfiach Yeah, but I felt like it, so I did. And it looks like I won.

[@hopefulhyena3400]

I take serious umbrage with you including 5e basic rules as a full game. It's a glorified quickstart. You don't even get subclasses, which is one of 5e's main systems of character building. Putting aside all the supplemental content, you don't even get half the PHB options. It's a tool for people to get started (quickly, you could say) with 5e. You said you weren't going to include quickstarts because "It's not the full game, it's a sampling of the game you can get for free". Like I'm sorry but if you don't think the 5e basic rules falls under that then I really don't know what to tell you. It also just sucks that you're glossing over a ton of smaller games in favor of 5e, like it doesn't get plenty of attention already.

[@UBMadaraKN]

Ryuutama? 👀👀 (I shall edit this comment if I finish the video and see it)

[@sandman6088]

Yooo glad to see another Ryuutama fan, but it's not free.

[@UBMadaraKN]

@@sandman6088 it does have a free version though? Ryuutamas base is free. You can find the pdf on the site with sample characters, and even sample towns and maps. :)

@@UBMadaraKN I see that the Japanese version is free, but nothing on the English translation aside from game aids and scenarios.

[@patrickfitzpatrick2945]

what?

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

Free (definition) adverb 1. without cost or payment. "ladies were admitted free" Tricube tales does not conform to this definition.

[@julianmorris2511]

I'll stick to pirating my games.
