Troll Lord Games

... devise your own "nostaligia" RPG? I've been working on a game called Orcs & Ogres for a while and really find C&C a big inspiration, even if my game is really just for me (and anyone who is curious). C&C has taken what was fun about 1st edition AD&D and cut out the questionable aspects with such perfection that I'm not even sure if I'll bother finishing mine. Anyone else?

Wot! And go through all that irrational public critique! Yeessh.. hell no. Ill stick to jut doing my own house rules.

Good point! Perhaps I'm a glutton for abuse.

Absolutely... kinda. Really, since I think that C&C is the epitome of classic gaming for the modern age, I created (almost) "Basic C&C." Essentially my Basic C&C game is the C&C PHB, stripping out most of the text and rules. This makes it like the C&C box set, but MY version of the C&C box set. I'm not quite done with it yet, as it's been a work in progress for about a year or so.

I don't know if this qualifies as my "own" nostalgia RPG, but it's as close as I can get.

I have Illusions of publishing and making my own game. Then reality hits; I do not have the want to write; I do not have the want to make a game. I only have the want to butcher games. C&C is current favorite.

Although I have been thinking whimsically about doing a Traveller adventure to break the all fantasy genre for 2.5 years+. Trail, Secret, and Fate of the Sky Raiders.......

I'm working on some, but I have been since before C&C was finished being developed. Since then, I've been busy on other things, and haven't put any time on them. Mostly "beer and pretzel" stuff.

Well... C&C hasn't although reading the various bit in the Crusader has inspired me some. Actually about 15 years ago, while I was travelling in London, I picked up an interesting hardcover book on Fantasy Wargaming. In it included basic stats and framework which inspired to do my own RPG. I was already heavily into AD&D at the time but didn't really know too much about the origins of the game or chainmail at the time.

Suffice to say that I 'developed' about pages of material before I decided that I was perfectly happy with AD&D anyway!

Fantasy Wargaming...that book was odd. But a friend of mine got some use out of those tables for generating mental problems..

..of course he used them for Boot Hill, but hey...

I think that's what attracted me to the book... it was a bit odd and different. I think that's also why it inspired me a bit. It was a breath of fresh air of sorts. The same kind of thing that attracts someone to a new RPG which, even if you buy it, you may never use.

I think I'm going to pull it out a bit later and take another close look at it. Who knows, I might be able to pull something else out of it.
