Gaming News: Fria Ligan Releases New Free Tabletop License!


Fria Ligan, also know as Free League Publishing—known for such games as Mutant Year Zero, Forbidden Lands, Alien RPG, CoriolisBlade Runner RPG, Twilight 2000 (4th edition), Tales Of The Loop, Vaesen, The One Ring (2nd edition), and Symbaroum, among the others—released a new license for usage of their flagship Year Zero Engine (used in all of the listed games except The One Ring and Symbaroum).

The license is called "Free Tabletop License" (FTL in short) and is accompanied by SRD file containing everything you need to run or write a game using either Year Zero Engine dice pool (like Alien or Forbidden Lands) or dice step (Blade Runner, Twilight 2000) variants.

Additionally, Fria Ligan also provided a separate license for publishers wishing to create adventures and supplements for Dragonbane—English version of Sweedish Drakar och Demoner.

Year Zero Engine had been previously made available for third party creators using terms of Open Gaming License—until... How to say it nicely? Until Wizards Of The Coast tried to supersede OGL 1.0 and OGL 1.0a with OGL 1.1, causing massive public concerns among gamers and publishers over the new licensee and later the way the situation was handled. 

Both licenses and the YZE SRD can be found >here<
