• Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Ed. - AD&D 2e, available for free on this website, which has a bunch of books and options. No setting stuff, and the info is only viewable one page at a time, but it's free AD&D! THAC0 INCLUDED! FO' FREE!
  
• Ars Magica 4e - Designed by Jonathan Tweet, famous for D&D 3.x and 13th Age, it has been described as "the best magic system in Pen & Paper RPGs" _{Source: TG forum}.
  
• d20 - D&D 3.5 and the OGL opened the door for plenty of competitors, notably Pathfinder, but both PF and 3.5 are built on the d20 System Reference Document (SRD). It is a full game in itself with playable races, classes, and monsters. If you homebrew this good enough, you can actually publish your game for profit.
  
• Dark Dungeons - "Dark Dungeons is a retroclone that is in many ways superior to the Rules Cyclopedia. Nothing is really CHANGED so much as things are clarified and organized. I rec Darker Dungeons, which is also a BECMI clone except it uses d20 style "always adding" sort of rolling without changing any of the fundemental math so it is more accessable to someone in 2013." - Winson_Paine on playing Basic D&D in the modern era.
  
• Dominion Rules - One of the first Open Source games available for free distribution and play. You can find the Wikipedia write up here.
  
• Dungeon World - A PbtA (Apocalypse World) hack that tackles the tropes of story-driven dungeon delving. Generally regarded as one of the better games to have come out in the last decade.
  
• FEAR - A Flexible, Easy And Realistic fantasy RPG. Comes complete with bestiary, and is billed as being vanilla enough to fit any fantasy genre.
  
• Labyrinth Lord - Another old school Hack and Slash, available in .zip format. Labyrinth Lord is a retroclone of the Basic/Expert ("B/X") version of D&D by Tom Moldvay.
  
• Mazes & Minotaurs - "A very good and completely free fantasy rpg that probably has the most supplements of any free rpg on the Internet besides perhaps Basic Fantasy Roleplaying and the mentioned below Talislanta & Marvel FASERIP."
  
• OSRIC - Long for that old D&D feel? Then OSRIC is for you. A retroclone of 1st ed. AD&D. Available in PDF so you and your friends can argue whether "Elf" is a class or a race.
  
• Pathfinder - The popular game has released its rules as a huge page of links, wiki style. Our own FedkaTheConvict has written a post that sees regular updates available here.
  
• Talislanta - A long running multi-edition fantasy rpg available in it's entirety which runs off a derivative of the Basic Roleplaying system (aka the system used by Call of Cthulhu & Runequest) and is infamous for its advertising slogan; "No Elves!" _{Thanks drrockso20}
  

• Fallout PnP - The world of the Fallout video game, brought to your tabletop in an unofficial game by J.E. Sawyer. Not a polished, high profile game, but rather a labor of love from fans of the series. You can find a Wiki for the game that includes resources for playing. _{Should this be filed under "Horror" or "Sci-Fi"? Who cares!}
  
• Ghost Lines - "It's done by the same people who did GHOST/ECHO and it's a hack of Apocalypse World. The gist is that in some dystopian steampunk nightmare world, electricity attracts ghosts and your job is to keep the lightning monorails connecting the big cities running and ghost-free using your 'lightning hook'. If you don't die screaming and actually live to retire, you'll die alone in the gutter unless you've managed to put enough money aside over the course of your career, during which you also accumulate scars and horror. It's awesome." _{Thanks Doodmons!}
  
• Shotguns & Zombies - A B-Movie runthrough of a zombie apocalypse.
  
• WitchCraft - A game about being witches at the end of an era of hiding their arts from the public.
  

• Arclight Revelation Tianmar - A mix between Steampunk and Martian invasion, was designed as part of the 24 hour game contest through RPGgeek and came in first. Requires an RPGgeek username.
  
• Danger Patrol - Create your very own 50's Sci Fi campiness with all the daring of Flash Gordon and the grit and gusto of Buck Rogers, "(with maybe a dash of the Venture Bros., Star Wars, and Indiana Jones)". Give me 5 reasons you wouldn't want to play this, and I will give you 5 reasons you're stupid and wrong and a big dumb idiot.
  
• D6 Space - Based on the OpenD6 engine linked below, this versatile system is the skeleton that Star Wars d6 is based on. This sucka is free on DTrpg.
  
• Eclipse Phase - Humanity stands on a precipice. The earth has been ravaged, mega corporations rule the skies, and smugglers and pirates use body morphs to step around laws and hack other people's brains. You can find a thread on Eclipse Phase written by Kire here.
  
• Icar - A Space Opera style game with more whimsy than grimdark grim darkness. Fight off the robots to save the nobility of humankind!
  
• Mutant Future - A Gamma World (crazy weird post-apocalypse) retroclone built on the framework of Labyrinth Lord. Also available as .zip files. Can be played as a standalone game, or mixed with other Labyrinth Lord material.
  
• Stars Without Number - An OSR romp through dungeons in space! Old school D&D rules lovingly sewn onto the still breathing carapace of space operas and star ships.
  

• Everyone is John - A great game where everyone takes the role of a voice in a crazy man's head.
  
• FATE - Linked is the 2ed rules, but here you can find the Spirit of the Century rules, a 3ed ruleset updated and put into action by fans of the game. You can find a complete writeup of the game by Evil Mastermind, here.
  
• FUDGE - The system that FATE is based on. This game has been distributed for free on the internet for the past 15 years, so there are plenty of resources out there.
  
• Impresa Express - A very adaptable vanilla system that uses d10s and Open Source design. Game rules are pretty standard, but it makes use of a unique Ability/Skill system that determines how many dice you roll. A little clunky on the mechanics (due to the aforementioned Ability/Skill resolution system) but still a very highly adaptable system. I have personally used this for an ultra realistic Zombie RPG.
  
• JAGS - (not) Just Another Gaming System. A rules heavy universal system, available in a rules medium version.
  
• Microlite20 - A boiled down version of the d20, focusing on faster play. Three pages long, including OGL. Download requires you to enter an email address, and includes a PWYW option.
  
• Mini Six - A very adaptable universal system that uses and was a flagship for the OpenD6 rules used in many popular RPGs.
  
• OpenD6 - A d6 based game (surprise!) used in the popular Star Wars d6 RPG, as well as Ghostbusters. West End Games (WEG) based a lot of stuff on this system. Multiple genres are available under the OGL.SRD right here.
  
• Tri-Stat dX - A system based off the three main stats: Mind, Body, and Soul. More information is available here
  
• The Window - A story based game with only three central rules. It says explicitly what it's not on the fourth page.
  

• Dreamscape - A fantasy/horror RPG set between the living world and the world of dreams. Characters play as their real world characters, and also as their dream-world counterparts.
  
• Inception - An unofficial RPG adaptation of the movie Inception. The players act as investigator or saboteurs who build dream levels, represented in this game as Jenga blocks. As you add more levels to the dream, it becomes more unstable. Available to view for free on Scribd, but you must submit something to download the PDF.
  
• Marvel FASERIP - An old TSR property now long out of print. Appears to have supplements falling out its rear end (surprise!)

• Expedition to Castle Ravenloft - The classic adventure, updated to fit 3e/d20/OGL specs. And what kind of splat book would it be if it didn't include new prestige classes, magic items and feats (almost none of which will be allowed by your GM)? Over 50% off!
  
• In the Prison of the Squid Sorcerer - I'm gonna be honest. I have no idea what the hell is going on with that title. This is a Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure that apparently touches tentacles with some cthulhu settings. Who knows!
  
• Doctor Who - the First Doctor Sourcebook - Those fine limeys over at Cubicle 7 slapped an RPG out of Dcotor Who, and you're gonna need this supplement if you wanna portray the first doctor accurately. Allies, enemies, aliens and gadgets, all for just a few bucks!

• Lost in the Lights - An adventure for Call of Cthulhu set in modern Las Vegas, and the first in a series of ‘Neue Unaussprechliche Kulte’, a line that deals with modern cults throughout the world.
  
• Shattered Moon - A full rule set for adventuring in a land ravaged by the war of gods. From DTRPG, "The forces of the Goddess, Lilith, the Dark Lady, stride forth to conquer and subjugate the earth to her will. She has awoken the titans from their ancient slumber and sundered Oberon's Seal, unleashing magic into a world dominated by science and logic for a millennium. You were human once, but that feels like ancient history. With the breaking of Oberon's Seal your soul revealed its true self. You are Sidhe. For over a thousand years since the seal cut off the influences of the Warp from the earth you have lived dozens of lives in human form, never realising what you really were but always feeling that you were different, never truly at peace in flesh or spirit. Now you are whole, in a world being torn apart at the Dark Lady's will. The moon has been shattered and the remnants have fallen to the earth bringing fire, destruction and worse."

• Luchador: Way of the Mask - I'm gonna be honest here, I have no idea what this is, or even what system it uses. It appears to be about masked Mexican wrestlers, as well as everything that that entails. I do know that it's only marked down from $15

• Promethean: the Created - Set in White Wolf's World of Darkness universe, this system deals with Prometheans, which are basically golems and homunculi, creatures despised and outcast by every facet of society, from gods to mortals.
