This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is there a list of D100 retroclones? AKA, clones of all the BRP/Chaosium?

All hail the great forum hive mind!

Any links to a list of D100 clones?

I know about OpenQuest, but I wondered if the rest of Chaosium's releases and BRP-like games have been cloned yet.

Yes, I have something in mind, but I don't want to retread for the sake of retread.

Thank you in advance!!

G.O.R.E. from Goblinoid Games, and Renaissance Deluxe from Cakebread and Walton both come to mind.

Basicroleplaying.org has a list of current d100 games, and is Chaosium's official forum too (I believe).

Are you looking specifically for clones or are you looking for OGL d100 rules?

The only clones I know of are G.O.R.E. and D100II SRD.

For OGL, you can add OpenQuest, Legend, and Renaissance.

I am looking for both D100 clones and OGL usage of the D100 OGLs.

AKA, if its BRP and not Chaosium, I'm interested in learning of its existence, but my KEY FOCUS is seeing what Chaosium products have been cloned.

Well... Magic World is pretty much Stormbringer with the Moorcock filed off.

Which Stormbringer edition is it cloning?

How is MW different than basic BRP?

G.O.R.E. clones the Call of Cthulhu version of BRP. The d100II SRD clones Chaosium's Runequest 2. Mongoose's 1st Runequest (MRQ1) has an SRD. Legend is Mongoose's 2nd Runequest (MRQ2) with Glorantha references removed. Legend also has a bunch of supplements that are OGL including: Pirates, Samauri, Vikings, Gladiators, Monsters, Blood Magic, Spirit Magic, and Elemental Magic. Magic World is an official Chaosium product and not open content.

No offense. Honest question: what is the point of a clone when the original system is easily available?

Can you find me a legal PDF copy of Stormbringer, please;)?

(Finding a not-legal one proved so trivial that I found one while searching for info about a lesser-known game. But I prefer my games to be legal:D).

For me, I am looking to see what people have done with the D100 system, and I am looking to see which of the clones have SRDs / OGLs / 3PP options.

Not OGL, but Mythras does have a 3PP license called Gateway.

You can write supplements for the original system without having to get permission. You just say they're written for the clone, and then they get used with the actual game.

I think that was originally the idea behind clones like OSRIC. Then people started using them because a) actual game was OOP at the time and b) they were often better organized.

Other than that, I see no point. I have never heard of anyone using GORE.

Ah yes, Stormbringer makes sense. Never been able to get my hands on a copy. One day. Recently found Elfquest used but heard that the system is ill suited to the setting. Isn't Stormbringer more a setting than a system? I thought it was a mildly tweaked BRP with a different magic system.
