Editing Retroclone (section)

===True OSR===
* ''Adventurer Conquerer King'':  Based on the [[Dungeons_&_Dragons#Basic_Dungeons_&_Dragons|1981 B/X set]], with a few changes, such as using a [[Dice#d20|d20]] for most rolls, adding a proficiency system, and doing 'race-and-class-as-class', which means that each race has several different classes to choose from (instead of the single 'elf' or dwarf' race in B/X). It also expands on the dominion management and stronghold building part of the game, with some other options such as trading. Supplements add systems for wars and battles, many more classes, and a custom class building system.  Published by Autarch.
* ''Blueholme'':  ''Blueholme'' is a knock-off of the 1977 Holmes basic edition of ''D&D'' (aka the weird one), with the base version ''Prentice Rules'' only covering play at levels 1-3. Expanded ''Journeymanne Rules'' bring the game up to level 20.  Published by Dreamscape Design
* ''[[Old School Essentials]]'':  It's B/X, sticking as close as possible to the original rules, but with modern editing for easy reading. Was originally released as "B/X Essentials", but changed to its current name in April 2019. The books are divided by subject for ease of use (or to get you to buy five books instead of one, your choice), or as a one-volume book.

* ''Dark Dungeons'':  The knock-off of the [[Dungeons_&_Dragons#D&D_Rules_Cyclopedia|Rules Cyclopedia]] with a few differences.  Published by Gratis Games.
** ''Darker Dungeons'' is a reorganized re-release, which makes a number of changes to the base ''Dark Dungeons'' game (including swapping the mechanics of the [[elf]] and [[wizard]] and adding [[firearm|pistols]] as standard equipment)
** Now rereleased as ''Dark Dungeons X'', a halfway point between Dark and Darker, on the grounds that you can just buy a Rules Cyclopedia nowadays anyway.
* ''[[Labyrinth Lord]]'': The knock-off of the 1981 B/X or orange/blue books of D&D (levels 1-14). Published by Goblinoid Games. Settings include-
** ''Advanced Edition Companion/Advanced Labyrinth Lords'': 1e AD&D rule options and add-ons.
** ''Apes Victorious'': Just straight up Planet of the Apes
** ''Mutant Future'': It's [[Gamma World]]
** ''[[Starships & Spacemen]]'':  [[Star Trek]]-inspired space adventures
** ''Realms of Crawling Chaos'': Brings [[Lovecraft]] and friends into ''Labyrinth Lord''.
** ''Red Tide'':  Fantasy [[China]] leads the rest of the world to Fantasy Australia to escape Fantasy Cthulhu, where they proceed to dispossess Maori Orcs. Made by the same guy who did [[Stars Without Number]].
* ''[[OSRIC]]'':  ''Old School Reference & Index Companion'' is a [[/tg/ gets shit done|/tg/-made]] attempt to better 1e AD&D. Published by Knights-N-Knaves
* ''[[Swords & Wizardry]]'':  A streamlining of the [[Dungeons & Dragons|White Box]], including all supplements.  Published by Frog God Games.
** ''White Star'':  ''Swords & Wizardry'' '''IN SPAAAAAAACE'''. Uses race-as-class. Leans heavily on Star Wars, with Star Knights and Void Knights, Aristocrats, Hotshots, et cetera.
