This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What non-D&D game would you want a retroclone of?

Not sure I'd call ICONS a retro-clone of FASERIP...more like a neo-clone.
Best,

Quote from: Artifacts of Amber;736470Thieves Guild (game lords) I think. Pretty much a D&D clone but I loved playing a bunch of thieves who were still very diverse. Fairly decent modules/expansions as well. Would love to see whole world with fighter/magic releases.
While I'm entirely biased on the subject of TG and Gamelords, I'd submit that the reason Thieves' Guild was great had very little to do with the system, an eminently forgettable VD&D  knockoff that barely reached publication.  (Heck, I might be one of the few human beings to still have a copy of Gamelords' Basic Role Playing.)  It was in the concept, the plots and the adventures.  

File off the serial numbers, and you could plug those into pretty much any system.  Which we proved ourselves -- the last things we did as Gamelords were to take a couple WIP products under development for TFT and convert them back to the Thieves' Guild system when Howard Thompson took his marbles and went home.  Those of us who were Boston-based by then (myself, Rich Meyer, Walter Hunt) jumped right into collaborating on Thieves of Tharbad for the MERP system, and took the oeuvre to DC Heroes, Battletech, Traveller and other systems.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Camel7: We don't have a shitload of rules here; but one that we do take pretty seriously is no filesharing or directing toward filesharing.  I'm not personally opposed to filesharing as a concept, but for legal reasons we just can't be seen as promoting it here.

Please don't do this again.

I've seen several attempts to clone this magnificent game, but they always fuck it up by adding chargen.
Don\'t forget rule no. 2, noobs. Seriously, just don\'t post there. Those guys are nuts.

Speak your mind here without fear! They\'ll just lock the thread anyway.

Quote from: Piestrio;736445That'd be awesome.

I'd also like to see someone go back and clone The Fantasy Trip.

I just finished the first volume of a series I'm doing, editing and re-formatting all the published material for TFT. It is obviously not for sale because it is the 'real thing', not a pastiche. But it is pretty nice, if I say so myself. Anyone who is interested can PM me if they would like to discuss.

That's cool. Just PM me and I'll get you the links. Is it 'street legal' to share stuff like that here, or will I get bounced for posting links to home-brewed games with questionable pedigrees?

Quote from: TristramEvans;738884Prince Valiant

LOVE Prince Valiant. I have a home-brewed game I wrote that is basically PV as the mechanical core of a sort of D&D-like, level and HP game, but where all the classes are archetypes from medieval stories. I should pollish that thing up and get it posted somewhere.

You can't post links to that kind of thing in the forums. It's one of the very few rules here.
