[QUOTE="Aurumvorax, post: 5066084, member: 87266"] FG&G is an attempt to compile the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition rules into a single open game product. The idea arose after reading the [URL="http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/osric/"]Old School Reference & Index Compilation[/URL] which is an open game adaption of AD&D 1E. FG&G, like OSRIC, will be free for use and reference. The rules have been kept intact but the descriptions rewritten with clarity in mind. The casual writing style that made 2E's rules easy-to-learn but difficult from a reference perspective has been tightened in favor of the game's mechanics. All the rules from the three core books will be included in a single product and a separate appendix containing all the variant rules will be released separately. A third project in progress will include select material such as races, class kits, and options 2E fans have come to love.
