[QUOTE="Spinachcat, post: 4870865, member: 37588"] I play both 4e and retro D&D. They are both great fun and offer different play experiences for both the GM and players. The Nice Thing about Basic Fantasy, Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, AD&D 1e, 2e, C&C and the great and mighty glory known as Swords & Wizardry is that they are all 90% compatible so whatever was written for one system can easily be used for any of the others with very minor tweaking. But the Best Thing is how fun and easy these old school games are to customize to whatever fantasy you desire. Of the D&D clones, I use Swords & Wizardry as my basic toolkit. From there, I change, tweak, add, subract and do whatever I feel is best to create the "D&D" that I desire. The Do-It-Yourself philosophy of the Old Schol model is tremendous fun, especially in the internet age. Don't forget to check out Knockspell magazine and Fight On! magazine! And since I pimp Mazes & Minotaurs on almost any thread about Old School RPGs, here's the link to my favorite "retro" game. [url=http://storygame.free.fr/MAZES.htm]M&M[/url] [/QUOTE]
