Welcome to OpenRPG
Welcome to OpenRPG, I'm Chris Davis (aka posterboy on the old forums). I started the OpenRPG project way back in January of 2000.
It's been a long time (several years) since I've actively developed OpenRPG. Through the years many other developers have taken up the torch and improved OpenRPG. Currently, there is no active development on OpenRPG. If you would like to play with the code, you can grab it from the SourceForge site.
I've moved the website here under my company's website so I more easily maintain it. If you have a link that needs to be added, please email it to me.
For sometime I've been hoping to start an OpenRPG 2 project. I hope to do so in 2009, but I make no promises. In the meantime, this site will be my clearing house for all things OpenRPG.

Once again when I wasn't looking a group of kind souls has shepherded OpenRPG (my baby) to another release (a few actually). This lastest version is extra special becasue the Windows installer version has all the dependencies included! Great job developers! So visits the OpenRPG page and download the latest version.
A very special thanks to Tyler Starke, Dj Gilcrease, and David Byron for all your hard work!

The PODCast returns with a new shorten format. I'm trying to experiment here a little with a weekly 15 min podcast. I'm solo in this one, but hopefully Chuck will join me next week. In this episode, I try to elaborate on the WebBook format.

I've introducing a new type of book, called the WebBook, starting with Modern20. If you already own Modern20, you can give it a try for only $2 via the Bundle+(you only pay for the book you don't own).
I'm hoping people will respond to this new format. For more on how this came about and its future please read on... ...Read more

In my continuing efforts to put Modern20 online (and then create a character generator), I imported all the Occupations and Backgrounds into the Modern20 database. Use it while it's FREE. :)

With the old forums on rpghost going away soon, I setup a new forums for RPGObjects and OpenRPG.
I had hoped to integrated a forum system into my existing site, using the same login (I hate multiple logins!), but I don't know if I'll have the time to do that in the near future. That is still the long term plan, so eventually I'll merge the two user accounts Therefore, you should use the same email on the forums as you do on rpgobjects.com. That way your accounts can be easily merged when the time comes.

It's been a long time since I was an active developer on OpenRPG. Yet, it lives on as other developers have step up and carried the flame from time to time. 1.7.1 is here because of the blood and sweat of . A special thanks to him (and other developers before him) for all his hard work. 1.7.1 is HERE. Enjoy it!
Thanks Dj Gilcrease!
