Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whizbang Dustyboots" data-source="post: 5660216" data-attributes="member: 11760">You'll need to decide what constitutes "clone" versus what constitutes "inspired by."OSRIC, for instance, is essentially the AD&D rules, organized a bit better and with product identity stuff stripped.Castles & Crusades isn't 1E and Pathfinder isn't 3E -- both make a number of changes -- but are clearly able to be played with those games and evoke the spirit of each. I would say that doesn't make them clones, but fellow travelers.I'd probably opt for an OSR run-down, rather than clones, to avoid this problem. (Lamentations of the Flame Princess isn't considered a clone by a lot of people, but would definitely be OSR, as likely would Dungeon Crawl Classics.)</blockquote>
