I've just relinked 1940 England Invaded (it's on 1km1t!). Arcane saga is on wayback machine: http://web.archive.org/web/200806081640 ... /index.php and needs PDFing and saving into the archive.

These are all Geocities games? Rats. We need to see if we can find these either on http://www.archive.org or track down the authors. Then we can PDF them up and load them into the archive! I'm going to tag all of these games with 'rescueme' and if we can't get hold of them any other way then I'll remove them from the directory.

Broken Links
FaLoR - Fast and Loose Roleplaying
Fellow - Humorous Fantasy in Polish
Fringe
Fighting Fantasy - fantasy-based system
Free RPG Community | freeroleplay.org
Game Engine Manual - GEM

I'm hosting Fringe on my Box.net account because it is an open game. That's one of the advantages of open gaming - your work can legally and easily be preserved.

GEM is missing?

Whoa, I had to think about what year it was and where I was when I last saw that game.

I found some of the GEM stuff on Too bad that the site is filthy with spambots.

I remember when it was hosted on it's own site it had some really interesting setting material that I didn't see on RPGLife.

Ah, the world keeps on spinning...

Missing
Have a Go Heroes (Geocities strikes again)

Also, I don't believe How To Host a Dungeon still has a free game available - you have to buy it, as far as I can tell.

EDIT: Also ISIS D6 System is broken.

D10/0 System: http://www.bestwithstuff.com/wiki/index ... 0-0_Manual
Shattered Earth: http://www.bestwithstuff.com/wiki/index ... ered_Earth

Or just simplify it: http://www.bestwithstuff.com

Google decided to get cute with disallowing any custom javascript on Google Pages, which pooched anything I wanted to do. So, I've gotten a real hosting serviece and placed my stuff on it through a MediaWiki presently. Shouldn't change in the near future.
