A by no means exhaustive (yet) list of links to free OSR gaming materials. This is a collection of links to material in PDF, Word or Open Office format. Except for cases with mixed collections, I’m not yet attempting to catalogue blog, webpage or forum resources. My tentative plan is to update this once or twice a month, until it turns into something truly monstrous!
Unless otherwise noted, the links are to the pages hosting the files and not the files themselves.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteThere's a shitton of stuff over at the dragonsfoot page. like 20 or so modules, plus character sheets, game aids, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna spend a little bit more time working on it tonight, then probably post an update in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention. Now I need to add more stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe free preview of Level 1A from Stonehell Dungeon is available here:

and here (Level 3)

I'm not sure if you'd count this, since it's a random generator rather than a document (but you can save the resulting html file to Word easily enough):
ReplyDeleteLabyrinth Lord and Mutant Future dungeon generator: http://www.apolitical.info/webgame/dungeon
I know there are lots of dungeon generators out there, but mine has more features than most. For example it creates monsters from scratch rather than picking from a list.
Great collection of resources. We certainly are a prolific bunch!
ReplyDeleteAnother free zine to add to the list - Encounter - focusing on "Classic D&D":

Great post! Thanks for the inclusion of PRG modules in your list.
ReplyDeleteGreat list.
ReplyDeleteI've got some character sheets for Labyrinth Lord AEC UK and US versions. Planning to do a freebie each month.

Thanks for this post. I just went through about 25 instances of "Why, that's just exactly what I've been looking for!"
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go through so much jet printer ink . . .
Awesome! Thanks for doing all the legwork for these links.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this excellent resources, and also thanks for including Temple of the Ghoul on your list!
ReplyDeleteAlso, for some reason, the links for Sham's Dismal Depths resources don't work any more--which is a shame, because I had never heard of this project before, coming back to hobby in late 2009. The pdfs are no longer on Orbitfiles. Does anybody know of an alternate download source?
Hey, cool! Thanks for mentioning my... um... "Empires and Engines."
ReplyDeleteClose enough. :-D
@ J.D. Higgins - D'oh! Fixed.
ReplyDelete@Matthew - I'll see if I can find a current link.
@Editor - Thanks! I'm planning on adding a Sheet section.
@David - Already added.
@Age of Fable - Cool! I'll probably add a web tools section.
@Michael - Thanks! I'll add on the next update.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and links. Eventually, it's probably going to turn into its own webpage, of some sort.
Great list of resources!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I do not see it here but does anyone recall a 200+ page PDF that collected all sorts of useful charts, tables, pregenerated materials, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt was talked about a lot a while back and I downloaded it but it was lost with a bunch of other data and now I cannot remember what it was called.
@Eli Arndt - Sounds like you might be talking about Kellri’s PDF Downloads, which are listed here under the Reference section.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Dangers & Dweomers, a variant of Swords & Wizardry:
