These are mostly comments about D&D retroclones. There are others too, like the 4C System (http://4csystem.wikidot.com/4c-system-products and http://www2.seraphim-guard.com/content/view/42/77/), which is a retroclone of TSR's Marvel Super Heroes system, AKA FASERIP. Otherwise, thank you for this post. I'll be reading you.

What the heck on God’s good Earth possessed them to repeat the travesty that is the “duplicated 20″ on the attack charts? I want to cry…

No matter how much She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed begs, my Red/Blue/Green/Black/Gold boxes ain’t moving into storage, and after the struggle to find a decent copy of the Fiend Folio to round out my AD&D 1E collection, I’m not putting *them* in a box either.
