Anything like the SRD for OD&D?

Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game is a pretty good retro-D&D as well.

Yes, though neither it or Labyrinth Lord are anything like OD&D (i.e., the 1974 edition of the game that the OP asked about).

Well, to the extent that LL is B/X with the s/n filed off... The skeleton underneath B/X is oD&D. Just make a bunch of deletions & you're mostly there. A few additions & you have oD&D again. Rules-wise.

As long as you aren't counting the supplements.

Unless LL departs from B/X more than I currently understand.

BFRPG plays a lot like greyhawk-supplement era D&D but yes there are differences.

I understand that OSRIC is an equivalent of 1st edition AD&D and LL is an equivalent of the Basic and Expert Rules, but where does Basic Fantasy RPG come into it?

(I wasn't even born when 2nd edition came out, and only started playing with 3E)

Basic Fantasy RPG is a combination of classic D&D and the System Reference Document, and is thus its own game (though very similar to basic/expert D&D). It's sort of like a Castles & Crusades equivalent for classic D&D; it's a system that borrows a lot of old school nostalgia, but also uses innovations from the current edition's rules set.

BFRPG plays a lot like greyhawk-supplement era D&D but yes there are differences.

Namely that BFRPG's entire core resolution system is d20-based (i.e., based on the d20 System that drive D&D 3x). Likewise, it includes rules for a number of things that OD&D doesn't (even when Supplement 1 is considered). I think that BFRPG is much more a modern version of B/X than OD&D (1974).

But if you're just looking to play, get the pdfs of the actual OD&D books from Paizo or RPGnow. WOTC made them available. If you're looking to publish under an OSRIC-like SRD then no, there's not an SRD out there.
