Monkey Research Project: How easy is a game to download?

Postby Rob Lang » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:14 am

For those free RPGs that aren't in the 1km1kt directory (which I appreciate is difficult to navigate) and have their own blog / website - how easy is it download main rules?

Let's do a research project! When you find a free RPG website, post up here how difficult it is to download the core rules. I'll get us started! Put the game name into Google and go to the page that comes up.

1.
Book cover link on the front page. Easy! (cheating, I know, because I designed the site this way)

2.
Book cover link on the front page. Easy!

3.
Google finds the game-specific page rather than going to the generic Stargazer games. Book cover link is right there. Easy!

4.
Initially goes to the old site (which makes the rules accessible), but the new one is more complex:
Text link on right hand side, then a page with the book cover. Medium difficulty.

5.
Google entry redirects to perilplanet.com. Doesn't appear in game list on the right hand side. Click more games. Text link halfway down. Medium difficulty.

Your turn!

Some RPGs from


Easily navigable Download menu on right hand margin. Good


Linked to a dead page, but easy to find downloads and lots of aviailible download are explained well. Although file names are a bit more computer friendly than user friendly, but minor complaint. Good


Direct link to a download page. Lots of available files layed out in a table of abbreviated names, with a short explanation. Some work could be done on presentation, but very easy to use and download. Good


The Delicious link leads to an old Stargazer's world post (Robs fault). After navigating to Stargazer games it was easy to find. Medium


Links to an empty wiki impossible

[edit]
After googling, it appears is the new website.
[/edit]


German language game and site, very easy to use and download. I really liked the fact that the books were available in lots of formats: PDF, EPUB, MOBI, etc. Excellent

The Quick start has been translated into English, available .
