  • A retroclone is basically D&D/other RPG in all but name. Mostly D&D as its the most popular game and that whole Open Game License thingie.

    Stuff like OSRIC and Labyrinth Lord are pretty much nearly exact copies of AD&D and basic D&D while games like X-Plorers, Encounter Critical, and the like are more style similar to older games or take more liberties to improve the game. (X Plorers is a personal favorite, being "What if instead of being into fantasy, Gygax & Arneson were Sci Fi fans"?)

  • hi Jason, welcome! We have one group started right now and I'm thinking we have enough new members that we could form a second separate group. Rich seems like he might be amenable to DMing another group.

  • Shadowrun would be a blast to play again.

  • Welcome, Jason! If you're interested in playing, keep your eye posted as the "Fall Season" is kicking off. If you'd like to run something, feel free to recruit and I can set you as an "event host". Shadowrun would be fun to play again! Look up Hopkinton Board Game group for frequent Arkham Horror opportunities.
