Lamentations of the Flame Princess is a grimdark retroclone made by James Edward Raggi IV. Started out as an Elizabethan version of AD&D, moved in the direction of historical fantasy as the author's interests inevitably changed. Most well-known for the little mini-adventures that no one buys on the shelves of your FLGS, with lots of gloom, doom, horror, and NOPE!, mixed with copious amounts of the absolute worst DM practices of a bygone era. You know, the ones that make for interesting reading, but always seem to cock up royally when you try to play them?

Would probably be a shoe-in to fit all your horror-style retroclone needs, if not for the fact that the creator were such a smug, unlikable cunt. Seriously, he's basically the result of a dangerous experiment to distill all the worst aspects of /tg/'s neckbeardy nature into a single individual, while filtering out all the likable charm and class, and his superior, insulting tone seeps into everything he writes.
