SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: Tetsubo;841265Maybe I'm just *really* lucky but within the past two weeks I have found at yard sales: 1E Player's Handbook (2nd printing), *two* copies of the 1E Monster Manual, 1E Deities & Demigods (the Cthulhu edition), 2E Player's Handbook, The Red Book and B2 Borderlands module. I paid a total of $7. I just don't see a 'market' for clones I guess.

Maybe I need to check yard sales for frequently, but I've never seen any of those things around here. I only see stuff like this in gaming stores that also sell used games - I recently saw the 2e PHB for $50, and the Mentzer Companion set for $75.

That said, making the rules available isn't the main point of most retro-clones. Usually, the first aim is to use the OGL to help publishers release new materials for "dead" games (this is explicitly the aim of OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, and I believe Swords & Wizardry). The second aim is usually to tidy things up a bit and/or present some house rules that modify the game in a particular way.
