[QUOTE="Mythmere1, post: 4805852, member: 26563"] One of the things drawing people to various retro-clones is that there are new and fresh product lines that can be used with the old games or directly with the clone rules, either way. BFRPG has a good line of modules, and they're free in pdf form. OSRIC is supported by Expeditious Retreat Press, which has a line of (I think) 8 different modules usable with 1e. Those are for sale. Swords & Wizardry has fewer full scale modules available than the above-mentioned, but it's supported by Knockspell Magazine and I think has more blogs than the other systems (most of which offer gaming resources). For a sort of holistic snapshot of one clone (Swords & Wizardry, of course), this is kind of what it looks like: 1) A free pdf of the game (standard for most clones): [url=http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/swords-wizardry-core-rules-%28pdf%29/6374501]Swords & Wizardry Core Rules (pdf)[/url] 2) A storefront ( [url=http://stores.lulu.com/mythmere]Swords and Wizardry's Storefront - Lulu.com[/url] ) with 1 set of variant rules (S&W WhiteBox is JUST the 0e LBB rules), 2 modules, a resource book on weird magic, 2 issues of a magazine, a book of monsters (several hundred, 186 are completely new), the Quick Primer for Old School Gaming (free), and a book of 600 city encounters. 3) Forum: [url=http://swordsandwizardry.com/forum/index.php]Swords & Wizardry Forums Index page[/url] 4) Free download page at website: [url=http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/?page_id=18]Mythmere Games » Downloads[/url] 5) Blogs: Skathros: [url=http://swcompanion.wikidot.com/]The S&W Companion: Welcome to The Swords & Wizardry Companion[/url] Grim: [url=http://postapocapost.blogspot.com/]The Outlook is Grim[/url] Spike: [url=http://spikesgames.blogspot.com/]Ubiquitous Orcs[/url] Bat: [url=http://ancientvaults.wordpress.com/]Ancient Vaults & Eldritch Secrets: the Old School Revolution is here[/url] MikeD: [url=http://swordplusone.blogspot.com/]sword +1[/url] TheRavyn [url=http://beyondtheblackgate.blogspot.com/]Beyond the Black Gate[/url] So that's sort of what the outer and inner support network looks like for a retro-clone, in this case the one for 0e.
