"What is an open game?"
Basically, an open game is a role-playing game that uses an open rule system. An open game follows a recent trend in the role-playing gaming market where the rule systems for such games are shared with the gaming community much like open source software. Open source software is in fact the model for open games.
Role-playing games are a genre of tabletop and computer games typically set in a fantasy world where players assume and develop the personae of a character in an epic adventure. Back to the original question, open gaming software is software written for open games.
This software range from massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG), complete campaign management systems, or character generation tools.
