[QUOTE="JimLotFP, post: 4912009, member: 44294"] There are three main "retro clones" that more or less remake older editions. [url=http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/osric/]OSRIC[/url], which is pre-Unearthed Arcana 1e. [url=http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/]Swords & Wizardry[/url], which is the original 1974 edition. [url=http://www.goblinoidgames.com/]Labyrinth Lord[/url], which is the 1981 B/X expanded out to 20th level. Swords & Wizardry and Labyrinth Lord seem to be the most popular these days and the most supported. There are others ([url=http://www.basicfantasy.org/]Basic Fantasy[/url], [url=http://stores.lulu.com/elflairgames]Spellcraft and Swordplay[/url], etc.) There are a number of publishers supporting this stuff. There's me and my company (see my signature), I've got a half dozen books out, including the well-reviewed Death Frost Doom adventure, plus the No Dignity in Death: The Three Brides and People of Pembrooktonshire which came out just last week (and so haven't had so much time to be as well reviewed :P). *plug plug* [url=http://www.fightonmagazine.com/]Fight On![/url] magazine is a big deal in the scene, with all sorts of articles about old school gaming. [url=http://www.xrpshop.citymax.com/page/page/3906568.htm]Expeditious Retreat Press[/url] has a bunch of 1e/OSRIC adventures plus a monster book. [url=http://www.bravehalflingpublishing.com/blog/]Brave Halfling Publishing[/url] is continuing to support Labyrinth Lord, but put out some 0e and 1e stuff. [url=http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/]Mythmere Games[/url], publisher of Swords & Wizardry, has some excellent adventures and supplements out, including Knockspell magazine. [url=http://www.goblinoidgames.com/]Goblinoid Games[/url], publisher of Labyrinth Lord, has adventures and such out as well. [url=http://www.chaotichenchmen.com/]Chaotic Henchmen Productions[/url] put out a cool 1e module and has at least a couple more on the way. [url=http://carcosa-geoffrey.blogspot.com/]Geoffrey McKinney[/url] caused a stir last year with his Carcosa book, a supplement for 0e. And tons of others. Look through the products at these places: [url=http://www.nobleknight.com/ViewManuf.asp_Q_CategoryID_E_0_A_GenreID_E_295]Noble Knight Games' Old School Renaissance[/url] section.
