Labyrinth Lord is a role-playing game published by Goblinoid Games in 2007. It was designed by Daniel Proctor (using WotC's Open Gaming License) with the intent of consolidating the rules and recapturing the spirit of "the world’s most popular fantasy role-playing game!" More specifically, it's a "retro-clone" of the 1981 DnD Basic and Expert set. A revised edition was released in 2009, and it has also been translated into German and Italian.
Any adventure module designed to be played with classic B/X DnD could be run using Labyrinth Lord's rules with little or no tweaking, and the rulebook itself is neatly written and superbly edited and organized. There are a few differences between Labyrinth Lord and its red-boxed forebearer, however. Most notably is that Labyrinth Lord extends the rules so characters can advance to Level 20 (the old rules only went up to Level 14). Nonetheless, for neckbeards who still want the “original edition” gaming experience, it boasts having Original Edition Characters, so you can play the original options under the updated Labyrinth Lord rules set.
