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.

Hey, guys. I'm curious about the various retro-clones out there, and wonder what's been published so far. The retro-clones you know of can be for any game, or any system. Oh...and links, please. :)

Swords & Wizardry: Core - this is OD&D with some supplement rules + some of it's own.

Swords & Wizardry: White Box - this one is for OD&D

Labyrinth Lord - this one is for D&D B/X, but scaled up to level 20, instead of 14

OSRIC - this is AD&D 1E

Basic Fantasy Role playing: no exactly a retro-clone, but it's own thing. A Basic D&D meets AD&D meets d20 (very lightly though)

Mutant Future - this is Gamma World in D&D B/X language. Plus it's also quite a game of it's own.

There are others, such as Microlite20, which are not strictly-speaking clones, they've just taken some mechanics from another game and made their own. It's more of a fraternal than an identical twin ;)

Here's a web page on my site with a list and links:

http://www.retroroleplaying.com/content/retro-clones

It still mentions PDFs of older games being available as I haven't had time to update for WOTC's pulling them early this week.

That's because 2e, in the minds of many, lives in this nebulous middle ground between old school and modern stuff.
