What RPG Do You Wish Had A Retroclone?

[Reynard]

What out of print RPG do you wish had a retroclone -- specifically for the purpose of it being easy for folks to make fan or indie content, as well as have a clean, well organized and edited version of the rules.

For my part, I would really like a clean and concise, yet evocative, version of Star Wars d6 1E. That would be keen.

WEG Star Wars 1E is definitely up there. Such a great game. Too bad they started piling on pointless rules. The bloated versions have plenty of clones.

Top Secret and Star Frontiers, the originals by TSR. I'm aware other games exist called Top Secret and Star Frontiers, but none of them come close.

I wish AD&D 1 and 2 saw the kind of variety of design updates heaped upon B/X in the OSR community. There is basically one reprint of each (OSRIC, For Gold and Glory), but no real improvements or attempts to modernize either.

4E D&D. Just so that it's out there for those who want it.

I wanted that AD&D 2e retro clone that had a kickstarter 11 years or so ago that was supposed to come out, think it had “Myth” in the title? I was really wanting that to come out and be a success, as did my group.

I would love Fifth Age Saga to be cloned, so I can at least have some kind of deck to use.

Palladium Fantasy cloned with a bit more design rigor, though not too much, as one of the appeals of that system to me is the power variance.

4E D&D. Just so that it's out there for those who want it.

Yeah this. It's a glaring omission and it's because it doesn't have the right licensing.

And it could clean up so well too.

There's Orcus which is specifically designed to be backwards compatible with D&D 4e, but has been reimagined with new terminology to avoid legal entanglements (because of the no OGL issue).

This is my answer too. There were so many good ideas, it could be turned into a really fantastic tactical RPG.

AD&D 2e Skills and Powers.

Adventures Dark and Deep is somewhere between 1e and 2e.
