3.5e OGL or Pathfinder.

GURPS.

OSR for sure. The games barely differ yet they're presented as innovative instead of another helping of dirt added to the same pile.

I want to say FATAL, but that's not shovelware.

Solo Journaling "games"

>>93186112
Upon consideration, I think the OSR and NuSR "movements" (more like bowel movements lmao gottem) get an honorable mention for churning out so much shit and convincing so many retards that they can just slap "OSR" on any piece of shit they make.

There, 90% of the shovelware on drivethrougrpg, itch.io and related kickstarters

Do you meas actual OSR stuff or grifters on Drivethru abusing a name?

one and the same

>WOD

Does WOD have its own open license? What do people even make for it?
>>
>>93188022
no. they have shoveled enough settings supplements and secondary games, all completely trash of course, themselves to qualify in my mind
>>
>>93188068
Why are you giving 5e a pass? It's more widespread and so a bigger problem than those three combined.
>>
>>93188285
because i had to pick only 3. 5e or 3e ogl is definitely number 4 and 5

I see.

aka totally untested useless garbage.
Covers all the 'osr' and 'nusr' shovelware that's just a zine with 1" margins and a D10 table per page, 5 room dungeons with

and shit like that.

I'd say Savage Worlds if it were more popular, but it isn't.

The modiphius 2d20 games don't quite qualify, but man, are they right at home. Just endless identical licensed garbage that you might play once if you really like the property, and then never again.

They're not total trash though. The Dune game seems alright.

>>93187826
This is the purity spiral in action, and why /tg/'s osr cult is the laughing stock of the retro-TTRPGs. No matter what you claim, your behavior shows that for you osr is more about failing to gatekeep the name than it is about actually playing games.

Roll with an app, I have never owned any physical dice nor do I ever intend to.
>>
>>93198756
>"purity spiral"
This is some laughable delusion right here. Reminder that /osrg/'s definition of what OSR is hasn't changed in nearly a decade, and closely matches that of the K&KA forum where the OSR was born.

Your lack of self awareness would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

This is the purity spiral in action.

>BÖRG
It's good that they love the disgusting pics yellow, makes it easier to avoid.
>>
>>93201634
The splinter threads are just as pathetic as /osrg/ is. The entirety of /tg/'s retro D&D community only wants to argue about what is TRVE and FOE instead of talking about games. Learn some goddamn reading comprehension.

>>93201681
Borg isn't big enough. The third piece of the grifter trinity is OSR/BX Compatible.

>it's a spiral!
>no I can't say how it's getting any worse
>because it's not

Fuck off, clown

Lmao kys retarded fuck
>>
>>93196610
These things are good, in theory, but the OSR community gave rise to SWORDDREAM and similar cancerous "RPGs don't have to have rules or dice or a point" avenues of faux-creativity. Faggots who like the hipster quirkiness of calling themselves game designers, but hate RPGs in the first place.

Its weird when tourists come here and think that anons here give a shit about what other parts of the internet think.

>>93201877
That was a lot of bandwagon jumping from the collapsing indi scene as well. They had to have a new grift instead of collab games about minotaur feelings or writing letters to shakespear because we got tired of that shit.
