I would like to point out that there is a movement within tabletop games to create new games that are either refined clones of old-school D&D (particular B/X Moldvay-Cook D&D) or capture the spirit of those older games.

It's called OSR and stands for Old School Revival/Renaissance. Titles include: Old School Essentials, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, and many others.

It's worth pointing out that Lab Lord and Swords & Wizardry have free PDFs, and emulate the Holmes-era/pre AD&D rules, with optional "advanced" rules. Old School Essentials is reputed to be the best organized restatement of the B/X rules. OSRIC is meant to be a restatement of AD&D 1e.

Oh cool. I hadn't heard of any of that. Thanks I'm going to check out some of this old school tabletop revival.
