Thought it might be a good time to start up another one of these, since I have been picking up assorted retroclones and comparing / contrasting them.

Of the ones I have examined so far, White Box (not Swords & Wizardry Whitebox, though it is derived from that) and Basic Fantasy seem to be the most promising for the types of games I like to run, but the sheer number of choices is great, and almost all of the books involved are available either as free (and legal) PDFs or at-cost hard copies (e.g. the Basic Fantasy core book only set me back $3.80 U.S. before tax). Hoping to get hard copies of OSRIC and Labyrinth Lord (and possibly Swords & Wizardry Complete), but not yet. Champions of Zed is arriving in the mail soon, and I need to set that next to Iron Falcon and see if I am looking for more of a 1st Edition or Zero Edition feel.

There. Got that out of my system. Feel free to discuss anything tabletop-y here.
