"Where can I buy a copy of this?"
This is a question I hear often while playing my favorite Print and Play games.
Someone put a lot of work into designing these games, and the thrill of having hundreds or even thousands of BGGeeks play them is undoubtedly satisfying.
However...
Don't our Game Designer Geek friends deserve better?
Don't they deserve compensation?
The following open list is for free PnP games that you would rush right out and buy, given the opportunity.
Post a game and Thumbs Up it if you would buy it and it isn't on the list!
Thumbs Up a game if you would buy it!

An absolute gem of a game - can't believe this hasn't found a publisher.
I've played this with wargamers and non-wargamers and both have enjoyed it. Gives a believeable narrative and an interesting game despite the fact that it often appears that not much is happening - much like the real thing.

This one has some excellent presentation and a pretty flawless mechanic. I could see it going in a Kosmos little box, easy-peasy!

Yeah, this is the one. I've made everything there is to make on this one, and I'd buy it all again if it were available...

This would be a great Express Game to manufacture. Fun and popular. It would only cost a buck thirty-four to manufacture each set, and,,,oh, about a gazillion dollars to license.

I wasn't sure that a large market existed for solo tabletop games, but Zombie in my Pocket has convinced me. I would love to tear the shrinkwrap off a glossy pretty copy of ZimP.

This game is a lot of fun. Use dice to create your fighters and then more dice to watch them fight. Complete with special power cards!
Took me a long time to put together my set (two expansions already with a third on the way) but it was well worth it.
Check this game out!

Many in the games forums have mentioned this:
Publish the entire series of additional missions in one set, maybe even as new edition of the oop original game. Starship Catan - 1st Mission: The Space Amoeba Starship Catan - 2nd Mission: The Asteroid Starship Catan - 3rd Mission: The Diplomatic Station

This game is the jewel in the crown of the Decktet game system and could be published with the resource tokens as a stand alone game in its own right.

Needless to say, I'm a big fan of this. I've never played any PnP game as many times as I've played this one. It's a great puzzle game, either solo or with many players. Plus, it is extremely easy to assemble.
Plus, I like my arcade re-theme

I still think, this one deserves to be published.
LBAV is an euro/ameritrash crossover involving monsters, fighting and worker- as well as tileplacement.
From the game's page:
Let's Build a Village is a cooperative game where players work together to clear the wilderness of monsters. As areas are cleared, the players can build houses and sell the houses to villagers. When the village is complete and all the player heroes are healed, the game ends. The "winner" is considered to be the player having the most gold when the village is complete.
Players explore the wilderness by playing tiles. Each tile has a monster that the player must fight to the death. When four adjacent tiles are placed next to each other as a square, the player can build a house and attract villagers. During a player's turn, the player can take three actions including moving tile to tile to explore, digging for gold, building a house, selling a house to a village, or healing wounds.
