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).

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: cranebump;938249Washbourne hacked BoL to run with Black Hack?

(Edited--found his hack on drivethru rpg).

Not really. They're not compatible. The BoL Hack is more a mix of the BoL system with some d20-isms.
It doesn't use the familiar D&D stats, it doesn't use Black Hack's roll-under-attribute, but adapts BoL's standard dice (here: d20)+stat/career vs. difficulty roll.
It's closer to Microlite than Black Hack, with only two classes, adding Appeal as a fourth attribute, and replacing the four skills with careers (acting like 13th Age's backgrounds).

I like it.
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
(Beware. This is a Kickstarter link.)

It's not D&D-based, but an OSR mash up I run is The Fantasy Trip + En Garde!; the first provides good character generation and advancement, combat, magic, monsters, dungeon action rules (all the core stuff for play-by-play table top gaming), but is a bit thin when it comes to campaign play. En Garde! is all organized campaign play, and pretty easily integrated with whatever game system strikes your fancy.

Oh oh, I've got one! I've been mashing up ACKS, Vornheim, and red&pleasant land lately. It's been super lucrative gameplay-wise, as the hyper-detail of ACKS mashes well with the hyper-creativity of the Zack S. stuff.

Not D&D derivations, but I consider Crime Fighter to be old school so for a police detectives game we rely upon:

I'm using a version of White Star's space & starship rules as the official space rules for my 5e D&D Wilderlands game.  Planning to use 5e/White Star mashup if the PCs go into Space. I think I may adapt the same to a more fantasy version for my Classic D&D Mystara game too.

I use Mentzer's Companion Set Domain & War rules in every version of D&D I run, don't know if that counts.

We certainly used it in our 1e game.
